Q. What is the next number of the following sequence
162, 98, 50, ?

• 162,98,50,?
  so 162/2=81=9*9
  so 98/2=49=7*7
  so 50/2=25=5*5
  hence so x/2= 9=3*3
  put the value of x is 18
  so 18/2=9=3*3
  so ans is 18

• 162-98=64 -->multiple of 8
  98-50=48 -->multiple of 8
  hence 64(8*8) and 48(8*6) are alternate multiple of 8, the next multiple will be 32(8*4) so (50-32=18)
  ANSWER:18

• 162-64=98
  98-48=50
  50-32=18

• 162-98=64
  98-50=48
  
  64-48=16
  
  so, taking the difference of the differences as 16(fixed)
  48-x=16
  therefore x=32
  
  So, the difference between 50 and next no. is 32. Thus, the next no. is 18.

• ans - 18 (-in no-64,48 and finally 32 so 50-32=18)

• here 48 is the common number
  think 50 as the center number
  adding 48 to both side of the number

• 9..divih each tern by 2...then a series will b formed..which is perfect square of decreasing odd number series...

• 162,98,50
  diff 162-98=64
  98-50=48
  d diff s multiple of 16 ie 16*4=64,16*3=48 nxt diff shud b 16*2=32 hence,50-32=18
  ans is 18
