-
- 1)1*3=3
2+8=10
3*4=12
ans:4
2)6^5=7776
5^4=625
4^3=64
3^2=9
ans:2^1=2
3)7*(-2)=-14
15*(-2)=-30
ans:(-21)* (-2)=42
4)7*(-5)=-35
(-3)*(-5)=15
ordering like this -35,15,?
next no must be 65
so,65/(-5)=-13:ans
5)it is of sequence -2,+2,*2
so,ans:14
6)3+7=10
8+4=12
......
ans:3+2=5
7)3(2,1) 4(5,4) 5(1,0) 6(3,2)
ans:7
8)169*3=507
62*4=248
........
168/3=56:ans
9)1*1+1=2
2*2-1=3
3*3+1=10
...........
ans:63
10)7-4=3,4*1.5=6
6-3=3,3*1.5=4.5
4.5-3=1.5,1.5*1.5=2.25
ans:2.25-3=-.75
11)3.2*5=16
12*5=60
ans:56*5=280
12)2.7
- 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(36) No(10)
- 8)507/3=169,248/4=62,36/12=3,168/42=4..alternately divided by 3 and 4..so the last term will be (168/x)=3,ans will b 56
- 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(11) No(4)
- i m not able to see the answers... though i m logged in. plz help
- 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(8) No(0)
- 2) 7776=6^5
625=5^4
64=4^3
9=3^2
next should be 2^1=2
ans:2 - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(7) No(3)
- @ somnath 5) soln will be..
4-2=2
2*2=4
4+4=8
......
8-2=6;
6*2=12
12-4=8;
.......
16-2=14..
so ans is 14 cheeck... - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(7) No(1)
- 11)7.2-5=2.2, 2.2+1=3.2, 3.2*5=16, now again
16-5=11, 11+1=12, 12*5=60,
60-5=55, 55+1=56, 56*5=280
so answer is 280
- 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(6) No(0)
- 12)0.7+0.5=1.2
1.2+0.5=1.7
1.7+0.5=2.2
2.2+0.5=2.7
so 2.7 is the ri8 ans.. - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(5) No(2)
- 1) 1,3,3
2,8,10
3,4,12
4 ans.
6) 3+7=10
8+4=12
0+5=5
3+2=5 ans
4) 7*-5=-35 -3*-5=15
-35+1=-34 15+1=16
(-3)-7=-10
so -3-10=-13 ans
7) there are set of 3 nos.
(3,2,1)
(4,5,4)
(5,1,0)
(6,3,2)
so next series starts from 7. - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(4) No(5)
- 4) 7,-35,-34,-3,15,16,?
(7,-35,-34),(-3,15,16)
7*-5=-35+1=-34
7-10=-3
-3*-5=15+1=16
-3-10=-13
-13*-5=65+1=66
ans--(-13,65,66) :) - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(4) No(0)
- 10) 7-3=4, 4*1.5=6, now again
6-3=3, 3*1.5=4.5,
4.5-3=1.5, 1.5*1.5=2.25,
2.25-3=-0.75
so answer is -0.75 - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(3) No(1)
- series 5
4,2,4,8,6,8,16,....
series is
2^2, 2,4, 2^3,6,8,2^4 ... next nos are 10,12
- 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(3) No(2)
- 9) 2*2-1=3, 3*3+1=10,4*4-1=15
so ans: 8*8-1=63
