-
- (4.2,26.0,8.9),(8.4,52.0,17.8),(16.8,104.0,?)
multiply by 2 in respective positions so 17.8*2= 35.6 is the answer

- next no will be 35.6
as
see the no between 26.0 and 52.0 which is 8.9 and 8.4
next no is 17.8
which 8.9*2=17.8
8.4*2=16.8
so next no will be 17.8*2=35.6 - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(7) No(1)
- (4.2, 8.4, 16.8)
(26.0, 52, 104)
(8.9, 17.8, ?)
4.2*2=8.4, 8.4*2=16.8
26*2=52, 52*2=104
8.9*2=17.8, 17.8*2=35.6
therefore ans= 35.6 - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(6) No(0)

- (4.2,26.0,8.9),(8.4,52.0,17.8),(16.8,104.0,?)
4.2,26,8.9 so
8.9-0.1=8.8 i,e
8.8+4.2=13 // add with 1st value
13*2=26 mid //mul with 2
8.4,52.0,17.8 so
17.8-0.2=17.6
17.6+8.4=26
26*2=52
16.8,104.0,? so
x-0.3=?.....eq1
104/2=52
52-16.8=35.2
35.2 // put in eq1
35.2+0.3=x
x=35.5

- Here, every 4th term is double of the latter as if 4th term 8.4 = 2 * 4.2 (4.2 being the 1st term) and the same is followed throughout .... S, the 9th term would be 2 * 6th term = 35.6.

- There are 3 series:
(i) 4.2 , 8.4 , 16.8 , ........ its a G.P. with r==2
(ii) 26.0 , 52.0 , 104.0 , .....its a G.P. with r==2
(iii)8.9 , 17.8 , ....its a G.P. with r==2
And our answer will be a part of the (iii) series so 17.8 * 2 = 35.6
Hence , answer = 35.6
Hope you got it - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
