Q. What is the next number of the following sequence.
10, 1, 9, 2, 8, 3, 7, 4, 6, 5, 5, 6, 4, 7, 3, 8, 2,....
Read Solution (Total 24)
-
- 10 1 9 2 8 3 7 4 6 5 5 6 4 7 3 8 2 9 1
There are two series alternatively
from first left decreasing from 10 alternatively
from second left increasing from 1 alternatively - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(10) No(0)
- ans is 9,1
10=1+9,2+8,3+7.............7+3,8+2, so ans is 9+1 - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(9) No(0)
- 9 1
10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 one series
and the second series is 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
and the two series has been merged into one - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(0)
- given series is
10_9_8_7_6_5_4_3_2_1
and in that gapes they given
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
collectively
10 1 9 2 8 3 7 4 6 5 5 6 4 7 3 8 2 9 1
so last two digits are 9 1 - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(0)
- the above series can be divided into two parts such as
10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2.. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8....
by we can easily find the answer is 9 & 1 - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- 1+9=10, 2+8=10,....6+4=10,7+3=10,8+2=10,9+1=10
thus numbers are 9,1 - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- all nos at even position follows sequence 1,2,3.... and all nos at odd position follows sequence 10,9,8...
so, ans is 9 - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- the next two sequence is 9 & 1
- 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- 9,1. sum of successive 2 numbers after 10 is 10. In which in each turn 1st number is gradually increasing by 1 and 2nd number is decreasing by 1.
- 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- 10 1 9 2 8 3 7 4 6 5 5 6 4 7 3 8 2 in dis series there are two series
10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 next ill be 1
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 next ill be 9
so ans is 1 9 - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- 10-1=9
10-2=8
10-3=7
.....
10-8=2
10-9=1
Hence ans is 1,9 as next numbers - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- first no. is 10 & 3 no.9 means odd position nos. are in decrasing order.
2nd position no. is 1 and 4th positions no. is 2 means even position nos. are in increasing order. - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- ans 9,1
10_9_8_7_6_5_4_3_2_1
1_2_3_4_5_6_7_8_9_10 - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- decrease from 10,9,8.
increase from 1,2.....
ans 9
- 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- the ans is 9,1
- 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- take alternative sequence then we get 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8, so next term is 9
- 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- 9 bcoz there are 2 alternating series .. one in descending & second in ascending order.. one is 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 & other is
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- 9..bcoz in odd places,counting is from decending order and in even places, counting is from ascending order
- 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- the ans will be 9 & 1.
- 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- here two series mixed together alternately.
10,9,8,7,6,..... & 1,2,3,4,5.......
so the next number in the series is 9 - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- 2
2+2=4,
4*4=16,
16*17=512,
512,
512+2=514,
514*4=2056,
2056*17=34952
so series is 2,4,16,512,512,2056,34952. - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- 9 will be answer..
- 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- Series starts with numbers 10 and 1 it goes on decreasing the 1st number(10) and increasing the 2nd number(1),so now its second number term ,after 8, ,its 9
so answer is 9 - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- 9 will be the answer!!!
- 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(1)
