Find the missing term: 5 10 16 ? 31 40

• 10-5=5
  16-10=6
  so,23-16=7
  ans=23
• 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(11) No(0)
• we have to add succesive numbers from starting from 5 to each number in the series as
  5, 5+5=10, 10+6=16, 16+7=23, 23+8=31, 31+9=40
  hence the missing number is 23.

• 23 is ans add 5 to 5 n 6 to 10 and so on..
• 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• The answer is 7
• 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(4)
• The difference between 5 and 10 is 5 the difference between 10 and 16 is 6 and the difference between 31 and 40 is 9 then the missing no is 23 that is because the difference between 23 and 16 is 7 and difference between 31 and 23 is 8
• 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• 10-5=5
  16-10=6

• the answer is 23...
  the difference between each number is 5,6,7,8,9 respectively
  i.e, 5+5 =10, 10+6=16, 16+7=23,23+8=31, 31+9=40
  (5) (6) (7) (8) (9)

• answer is 23
  explanation:-
  the series is successively increasing by adding numbers 5,6,7,8 and so on.
• 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• 23
  On observing the series carefully we can observe that between 2 successive numbers from starting, the difference is being increased by 1 starting from 5... like 10-5=5 16-10=6 similarly next successive numbers should give result as 7 so adding 7 to 16 would give us 23

• 5 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• 10-5=5
  10-6=6
  lly we get 5,6,7,8..
  So, ans=23
• 5 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• 23
  first two digits 5 diff
  2nd and third digits has 6 diff
  It continues so after 16 +7=23
• 3 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• 10-5 is 5.
  16-10 is 6.
  so that x-16 should be 7.
  that is x-16=7
  x=16+7=23.
