Read Solution (Total 6)
-
- 1)correct series is
8,5,9,7,2,25,5,1,16,8,6
8-5=3 ->3^2=9
7-2=5 ->5^2=25
5-1=4 ->4^2=16
8-6=2 ->2^2=4
ans is 4 - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(24) No(1)
- 13*2-5=21 21*2-10=32 32*2-15=49 49*2-20=78 78*2-25=131 131*2-30=232

21-13=8,11-8=3
32-21=11,17-11=6
49-32=17,29-17=12
78-49=29,53-29=24
131-78=53,x-53=48=101
so ans is 101+131=232 - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(7) No(1)
- 2Q)(21-13),(32-21).(49-32),(78-49),(131-78),(x-131)
8 11 17 29 53 y
(11-8),(17-11),(29-17),(53-29),(y-53)
3 6 12 24 48
so,y-53=48 ==>y=101 and
x-131=y i.e.,x=y+131==>x=101+131=232
hence,Ans:232

- 2. 13,21,32,49,78,131,...
21-13=8
32-21=11
49-32=17
78-49=29
131-78=53
232-131=101
so 11-8=3
17-11=6
29-17=12
53-29=24
101-53=48
hence 131+48=179 which is the correct ans . - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(4)
- 12) 7.2,2.2,3.2,16,11,12,60,55,56
take 3 7.2-5=2.2
2.2+1=3.2
16-5=11
11+1=12
60-5=55
55+1=56
so ANS=56 - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
