Q. Waht is the next number of the following sequence
48,24,35,7,16,8,75,1580,40
Read Solution (Total 6)
-
- 80
Make a group of 4 terms [a,b,c,d]=[4,8,4,32],[6,9,3,54], [8,10,2,x]
[a,b,(c=b-a),(d=a*b)]
[4,8,(8-4),4*8],[6,9,(9-6),6*9],[8,10,(10-8),(8*10)] - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(5) No(1)
- series is like 4, 8, 4, 32.... 6, 9, 3, 54..... 8, 10, 2,_
1st number +3rd number= 2nd number
1st number* 2nd number= 4th number
4+4=8 4*8=32
6+3=9 6*9=54
8+2=10 8*10=80
so ans is 80 - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(3)
- (4,8)4(32)(6,9)3(54)(8,10)2(80)
80 is the answer..
as the each fourth two entities in braces is product of first two
like (32) is product of (4,8)
and the no not in braces are simply an decreasing series 4,3,2,1
so series would be 4,8,4,32,6,9,3,54,8,10,2,80,1 and so on.. - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(0)
- ans =8*10=80
it have 4 series
4,6,8,....
8,9,10,...
4,3,2,....(diffrence of first 2 series)
32,54,80(multipy first 2 series) - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(1)
- after 15 its comma and then 80
48/24=2; 35/7=5
16/8=2; 75/15=5
80/40=2; x/y=5
if we observe 35,75,x are in series with a difference of 40. so x=75+40=115
similarly 7,15,y are in series with a difference of 8. so y=15+8=23
x/y=115/23=5 It satisfies the problem so next two terms are 115 & 23. - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- 80
(4*8)=32
(6*9)= 54
8*10 =80
- 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
