• 1) 3,7,10,8,4,12,0,5,5,3,2,5
  
  so 3,7,10,8
  4,12,0,5
  --------
  3.....,4....,5....6
  
  means 6 is Answer.

• 9) series is 3,5,2,100,4,7,3,196,1,6,5,144
  ans=144
  3+5+2=10=10*10=100
  so on.........
  1+6+5=12*12=144

• 16) ans is 3.5
  (0,1,2,.5),(2,2,2,2),(4,3,2,?)
  0+1=1/2=0.5
  2+2=4/2=2
  4+3=7/2=3.5(ans)
  
• 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(9) No(0)
• 4) (4, 2, 4) (8, 6, 8) (16, x, 16)
  1st and 3rd term are same
  
  4-2=2
  8-6=2
  16-14=2
  hence ans = 14
• 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(6) No(4)
• 4)4,2,4,8,6,8,16
  (4,2,4) (8,6,8) (16 ? ?)
  mid term = 2 ,2+2 =4 we get 1st,3rd terms
  mid=6 ,6+2=8 i.e, 8 and 8
  similary we know first term in series 16
  so mid =14 then 14+2=16
  16 is 1st and 3rd term
  correct me if i am wrong.

• write in dis way...
  0 1 1 2 0
  5 2 2 4 2
  2 4 3 7 ?
  now see...adding 2nd and 3rd term we r getting 4th
  and thn 4th and 5th mey diffrence kya chal raha hai ...It's 2
  so
  next will be 7-2=5
  Answer = 5
• 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(3) No(3)
• 12) ans 5
  0.5*16=8
  0.3*50=15
  0.2*30=6
  therefore remaining terms
  ---4---4.5---5

• 2) correct series: 0,1,1,2,0.5,2,2,4,2,2,4,3,7,2
  
  0+1=1, 1/2=0.5;
  2+2=4, 4/2=2;

• 3)10,12 diff 3 and 12*3=36
  so ans 63
• 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(4)
• 13)115,100,86,74,65,60,_
  
  115-100=15
  86-74=14
  so on..
  the diff b/w consecutive nos are 15,14,12,9,5,x
  these are in the decreasing order ex, -1,-2,-3,-4, so next is -5
  so x=0
  hence the next term is 60. :)

• 8) 40-39=1, 39-37=2, 37-33=4, 33-26=7 ,26-15=11 first difference
  2-1=1 , 4-2 =2 , 7-4=3, 11-7 = 4 (1,2,3,4) hence the next is 5
  then after 11 the difference should be 16
  then 15-x= 16 , x=-1
  ans is -1
• 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
• 2) ans=1
  (0,1,1,2),(0,5,2,2),(4,2,2,4),(3,7,2,?)
  0+1+1+2=4
  0+5+2+2=9
  4+2+2+4=12
  3+7+2+x=12+x
  
  4 9 12 12+x
  5 3 1
  Hence,12+x=12+1
  x=13-12=1(ans)

• 17) ans-12
  divide into 4 parts-
  (8,5,9),(7,2,2.5),(5,1,16),(8,6,4)
  take first term from all four i.e, 8,7,5,8
  8-1=7
  7-2=5
  5+3=8
  8+4=12
• 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(5)
• 4)4,2,4,8,6,8,16
  
  (4,2,4) (8,6,8) (16 ? ?)
  4*2=8 (side term)
  8*2=16 (side term)
  so,(4,2,4) (8,6,8) (16 ? 16)
  2* 3=6 (middle term)
  6*3=18 (middle term)
  Hence, (4,2,4) (8,6,8) (16,18,16)
  5)11.5,17.5,35.5,89.5
  diff of two consecutive terms
  17.5-11.5=6, 35.5-17.5= 18, 89.5-35.5=54
  so we get, 6,18,54 next term is 54*3=162
  therefore ans is 162+89.5=251.5
• 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(2)
• 4) 4-2=2; 4-8=-2; 6-8=-2; 16-14=2; ans 14 2,-2,-2 then 2 series
  
• 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(1)
• 5)11.5 17.5 35.5 89.5
  Thier difference is 6 18 54 nd hence after difference is 162
  So,next number is 151.5
