Read Solution (Total 5)
-
- 1-(1/2-3/2)*1=2
5-(1/3-16/3)*2=15
12-(1/4-49/4)*3=48
so 7 should be replaced by 48 - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(13) No(6)
- 1+1/2=3/2
2+3=5 and 5+1/3=16/3
15-3=12 and 12+1/4=49/4
so 7+3=10 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(3) No(0)
- 148/4
1,1/2,3/2,2,5,1/3,16/3,15,12,1/4,49/4,7 cam be written as
1,0.5,1.5,2,5,0.33,5.33,15,12,0.25,12.5,7
we could see the pattern
as 1 3 5 3 5 now next should be 5
so the last no will be 37.5
which can be written as 148/4 hence the ans - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(5)
- 49/4+7=77/4
- 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(3)
- 1-(1/2-3/2)*1=2;
5-(1/3-16/3)*2=15;
12-(1/4-49/4)*3=48;
so 7 should be followed by 48 - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(3)
