Q. What is the next number of the following sequence
7/6,3/2,1,5/6,13/6,5/2
Read Solution (Total 3)
-
- divide the series into two parts
(7/6, 3/2, 1, 5/6), (16/6, 5/2, _, _)
calculate decimal values
1.1667, 1.5, 0.8333, 2.1667, 2.5
now, it is clear that series1 +1= series2
1.667+1=2.667
1.5+1=2.5
1+1=2
so ans is 2 - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(25) No(10)
- it have 4 series combination with commen difference 1 in all series
7/6,13/6,19/6...........
3/2,5/2,7/2,.......
1,2,3,4,5,
5/6,11,6
so combine all 4 series
7/6,3/2,1,5/6,13/6,5/2,2,11/6.......
so ans is 2 and another next term 11/6

- devide first 4 fractions into one group.. second group will be 1+(7/6)=(13/6), 1+(3/2)=(5/6),
so next two will be 1+1=2, 1+(5/6)=(11/6).. no need to convert it into decimal numbers... - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(9) No(3)
