Q. What is the next number of the following sequence
2, 1, 4, 3, 6, 6, 8, 10, 10, ?, ?
Read Solution (Total 29)
-
- there are two series
(2,4,6,8,10, ) & (1,3,6,10, )
in 1st series next term is 2 more than previous so (2,4,6,8,10,12 )
in 2nd series next term is 10+5=15
so next two term
15,12

There are 2 series
1st is addition of 2 i.e
2+2=4
4+2=6
6+2=8
8+2=10
other series is addition of sequence 2,3,4, and so on starting from 1
1+2=3
3+3=6
6+4=10
10+5=15

- here 1st,3rd,5th,7th,9th are divisible by 2 so 11th number is 12
2nd,4th,6th,8th numbers are
1+2=3 is 4th num
3+3=6 is 6th num
6+4=10 is 8th num
next 10th place number is 10+5=15
so ans is 15,12 - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(5) No(0)
- 2,4,6,8,10,12
1,3,6,10,15 - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(3) No(0)
- 1.alternate digits are multiples of 2..from this last digit may come 12
2.and even places of the digits are increses exponentially +1,+2,+3,..so the next no will come +4=15,
the sequence is 2,1,4,3,6,6,8,10,10,15,12 - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(0)
- 15 and 12
two series are present alternately
series1: 2,4,6,8,10,12( here 2 is added to next term in the series)
series2: 1,3,6,10,15( here incrementing order is added that is to get 2nd term we add 2 to 1st term, to get the 3rd term we add 3 to the 2nd term and so on..) - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- (!)2 4 6 8 10
(!!) 1+2=3+3=6+4=10=10+4=14
Answer is 14. First series in even numbers and in second series numbers added to the next number in sequence like 1 2 3 4 so at the end after 10 we have to add 4 in 10 so 10+4=14 - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(1)
- ans: 15,12
it is combination of two series
1,3,6,10,15 (position+previous number)
2,4,6,8,10,12 (differece b/t numbers is 2) - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- here in the first series 2,4,6,8,10 so next will be 12 as each term is incrementing by 2
and in second series 1,3,6,10 each term is incrementing than the next term is 2,3,4,5 so next no will be 15.
12 and 15 will be the next term

- 15,12 this is alter native series

- Ans is 15,12.
- 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(1)
- 12,15......
- 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(1)
- 2,4,6,8,10,12..multiples of 2
1,1+2,3+3,6+4,10+5......
2,1,4,3,6,6,8,10,10,15,12..
- 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- 15,12
we hv.....2,4,6,8,10 and 1,3,6.10
1st series is multiples of 2 so it is 12
and in 2nd add 5 to 10 i.e 15 - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- 2->4->6->8->10->12
1->3->6(5+1))->10(7+3)->14(9+5)
so nxt digit will be 14,12 - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- 12,15
series following 2,4,6,8,10 so next number should be 12
another series 1,3,6,10 so next number should be 15 - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- starting from 2 alternative digits sequence differ by 2 and start 4m 1 alternative digits differ by 2,3,4,5
so ans is 12 n 15 - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- separate odd position nums and evens position nums
2 4 6 8 10 -- differece is 2 so next num is 12
1 3 6 10 15 -- diffrence is increment n+1, so next num is 15 - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- 2,1,2+2=4,1+2=3,4+2=6,3+3=6,6+2=8,6+4=10,8+2=10,10+5=15,10+2=12
ans:15,12 - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
