Read Solution (Total 21)
-
- 7*-5=-35, then -35+1=-34
-3*-5=15,then 15+1=16
so 4*-5=-20 - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(39) No(2)
- Multiply -5 in each case
7*-5 =-35 then -35+1 =-34
-3*-5 15 then 15+1 =16
so,,,,, 4*-5 =-20 - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(1)
- 7*-5=-35
-35+1=-34 (i.e., 7,-35,-34)
-3*(-5)=15
15+1=16 (i.e., -3,15,16)
(4,x,x)?
4*(-5)=-20
-20+1=-19 (i.e., 4,-20,-19)
therefore the next term is -20. - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(0)
- first we need to divide the series in set of 3,series logic is as (*-5) for 2nd number and (+1) for 3rd number
and finally the ANS:-20 - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- 7x(-5)=-35+1=34
-3 x (-5)=15+1=16
4 x (-5)=-20+1=-19
so ans is -20
and series r 7, -35, -34, -3, 15, 16, 4, -20, -19
- 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
7*-5=-35;-35+1=-34
-3*-5=15;15+1=16
4*-5=-20;-20+1=-19
nd so on
so option will be =(a)- 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- -20
(-(7*5)),((-(7*5)+1)),((-(-3*5))),((-(-3*5))+1),(-(4*5)) - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- 7*-5=-35,-35+1=34,-3*-5=15,15+1=16,4*-5+-20
ans:-20 - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- n,n*-5,(n*-5)+1
4,4*-5=-20,-20+1=-19 - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- 7*-5=-35, then -35+1=-34
-3*-5=15,then 15+1=16
so 4*-5=-20 - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- Ans. a) -20
7,7*-5,-35+1,-3,-3*-5,15+1,4,4*-5=-20 - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- a is the solution
- 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- solution -> 'a'
-> 7* -5= -35,
-35+1=-34
-> -3* -5=15,
15+1=16
-> 4* -5= -20.
- 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- 7*-5=-35,-35+1=-34,-3*-5=15,15+1=16,4*-5=20
- 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- 7*(-5)=-35+1=>-34 same logic apply
- 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- -20 is the answer
- 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- ans is d
because 7*-5=-35 then +1
in next series -3*-5=15 then +1=16
- 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- a)-20
7*(-5)= -35;
-35+1=-34;
now -
-3*(-5)=15;
15+1=16;
now 4*(-5)=-20ANS - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- 7*-5=-35 then add 1=-34
-3*-5=15 then add 1=16....
so on
- 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- 7*-5=-35
-35+1=34
-3*-5=15
15+1=16
then4*-5=20 - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- Above question follow the logic:
First term is multiplied by -5 and in third term 1 is added and hence the 4x-5 will result: -20 - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
