• each no. of given series divide by 2 then add 1 in the result you will get the next no.
  explaination
  98/2=49, 49+1=50
  50/2=25, 25+1=26
  26/2=13, 13+1=14
  14/2=7, 7+1=8

• 98-50=48
  50-26=24=48/2
  26-14=12=24/2

• 50*2-2=98
  26*2-2=50
  14*2-2=26

  5*2-2=8
  So the next number is 5

• ans is 5
  (98/2)+1 =50
  (50/2)+1 =26
  (26/2)+1 =14

• 98-50=48
  50-26=24
  26-14=12
  14-8=6
  so in all above,the no subtracted is halved everytime..hence
  6/2=3
  subtract 3 in 8 ie 8-3=5
  this is right answer
• 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• answer is 5, since the difference between two numbers is doubled in every case
• 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• Answer is : 5
  98 - 50 = 48
  50 - 26 = 24
  26 - 14 = 12
  14 - 8 = 6
  8 - 5 = 3
  
• 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• 98-48=50
  50-24=26
  26-12=14
  14-6=8
  8-3=5
  here from 48 is substracted and from result half the value is substracted

  as

  8-x=3
  x=5;
  98,50,26,14,8,5

• as 98-50=48
  50-26=24

  so to get 3 we have to subtract
  8-5=3
  hence ans is 5

• Answer is 3.
  
  The difference between 2 consecutive no. is like
  
  98-50 = 48 which can be written as 6*8 which can be written as 6*(2^3)
  50-26 = 24 which can be written as 6*4 which can be written as 6*(2^2)
  26-14 = 12 which can be written as 6*2 which can be written as 6*(2^1)
  14-08 = 06 which can be written as 6*1 which can be written as 6*(2^0)
  
  therefore the next no. will be written as 6*(2^(-1)) i.e 6*(1/2) which is equal to 3.
  
  So the answer is 3

• Answer is 5.
  8-5=3 3*2=6
  14-8=6 6*2=12

  (26/2)+1=14
  (14/2)+1=8
  (8/2)+1=5
  So answer is 5
• 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• 98-50=48(i.e 48+2=50)
  50-26=24(i.e 24+2=26)
