Look at the series
8,43,11,41,____,39,17.

What number should fill in the blank?

• 14,two series are combined.8,11,_,17 are of one series and 43,41,39 are another series.the possible number which formed by increasing 3 to the previous number is 14
• 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(19) No(1)
• 8+3=11,11+3=14,14+3=17
  39+2=41,41+2=43

• in this above series we have 2 series
  1st series 8,11,14,17...
  increased each term by +3
  2nd series 43,41,39,37....
  decreased each term by -2
  so,ans is 14

• Answer: Option B
  
  Explanation:
  
  This is a simple alternating addition and subtraction series. The first series begins with 8 and adds 3; the second begins with 43 and subtracts 2.

• 14
  this is a multiple series.Here 8+3=11
  hence 11+3=14
• 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
• ans is 14
  every time the numbers are being added and substracted consecutively.
  each number being added and substracted is being decremented by 5 respectively.
  8+35=43
  43-32=11
  11+30=41
  41-27=14
  14+25=39
  39-22=17
• 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
• two series
  1. 8 11 ? 17
  2. 43 41 39
  so missing number is 11+3=14
  
• 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
• 8+3=11
  
  11+3=14

• 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
• 8+3=11
  11+3=14
  14+3=17
  
  hence answer is 14
• 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
• ans is 14 because aternate terms are added by 3
• 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
• 14 between odd places numbers has difference of 3 and even place numbers has difference of -2
• 4 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
• difference between 8 and 11 is 3, difference between 43,41 is -2,same rule for next series so answer is 14
• 4 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
• odd places are increasing by 3 and even places are decreasing by 2
  so the answer is "14"
• 4 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
• here is a sequence 8,11 there is difference of 3 between them so next is 14
• 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• here we can see the sequence 8+3=11
  11+3=14 (ans)
  14+3=17
  and another side we also can see 43-2=41
  41-2=39
• 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• 8+3=11
  43-2=41
  11+3=14(answer)
  41-2=39
  14+3=17.
• 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• 14
  1st term=8. so add 3 i.e 8+3=11(3rd term)
  2nd term=43. so sub 2 i.e 43-2=41(4th term)
• 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• Alternate numbers in series have a constant difference i.e.
  43-41 = 41-39 = 2
  11-8 = 14-11 = 17-14 = 3
  Hence the gap is satisfied by number 14.

  eight plus three is eleven,so eleven plus three is 14.
• 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• ans.14
  8+3=11
  11+3=14
  14+3=17
• 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(1)
• consider the series 8,11,14,17. it is like add 3 to the previous number...so the Ans is 14.
• 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• 14 is the answer
• 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• 14 is the answer
• 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• 8 is one series and 43 is another series
  8 values increasing by 3
  43 decreased by 2
  so,the missing number is 14.
• 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• answer is 14,why bcz while abserving the series we can notice that two types of series are their those are 8,11,14...... and 43,41,39..........
• 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• This series is a combination of two series..first one is:
  8+3=11
  11+3=14
  14+3=17
  And the second one is:
  43-2=41
  41-2=39
• 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• 14, the difference between 8 to 11 is 3 and
  the difference between 43 to 41 is 2 and the difference between 41 to 39 also 2
  So the series will be continuous, the number will be 14 with difference of 3 from 11
• 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• 8+2=11
  11+2=14
  14+2=17
  so answer is 14
• 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• take 8,11,_,17 the difference is 3 so next no is 14
  ans is 14
• 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• Here , the difference between every odd position numbers is 3.
  ex - 11 - 8 = 3
  and the difference between every even position numbers i s2.
  ex - 43 - 41 =2, 41 - 39 = 2,
  so, the next number after 41 will be 11 + 3 = 14 , and thus 17 - 3 =14 .
  
  
  so, ans = 14.

• 14..
  Because it's two consecutive series.. series of 8,11,14,17 wd 3 added each time

• 14
  1st 3rd so on position' s number is increasing by 3
• 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• Here we can observe two series
  1)8-11=3 ,11-x=?, here the common difference is 3 so that we can say next number should be 14
  11-14=3 and 17-14=3.
  2)43-41=2,41-39=2
  
• 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• 14
  8+3=11
  then next
  11+3=14
• 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• 14 is the solution
  As difference with simultaneously 3 and 2
• 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• ans 14, because
  to get second one we add 35 to the first one,
  to get third one we subtract 32 from the second one,like the same way to get 5 th term in series we subtract 27 from the fourth term.

• 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• break series in odd and even values
  (8,11,x,17),(43,41,39)
  we can see in odd terms, there is a addition of 3 and in even places, there is the diff of 2. thus x=11+3=14
• 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• There is a increase of 3 in the odd places so,the 5th term is 14 and there is a difference of 2 in the even places like 43-41=2,41-39=2. so, the missing term is 14.
