• -5+6=1 ,1-12=-11
  23+6=29 ,29-12=17
  -20+6=-14 , -14-12=-26

• ans: -26 reason below(-5,-11)(23,17)(-20,-26)
  -5-6=-11
  23-6=17
  -20-6=-26ans

• ans: -20
  xplanation: break the series taking 3 in a group.
  now see that there is +6 , -6 difference between them....so the final number is (-14-6)= -20

• (-5 1 -11)=-5+11=6
  (23 29 17)=23-17=6
  (-20 -14 -26)=-20+26=6
  hence last term is -26
  cd of 6

• (-5,1,-11)
  -5+6=1
  -5-6=-11
  (23,29,17)
  23+6=29
  23-6=17
  (-20,-14,-26)
  -20+6=-14
  -20-6=-26
  S0, Ans = -26

• (-5*2)-1=-11
  (23*2-29)=17
  (-20*2-(-14))=26
  so ans is 26

• this answer is -2
  5,-1,-11(Diff. between 1st &2nd no. is 6, 2nd &3rd no. is 12 )
  23,29,17(same as Diff. between 1st &2nd no. is 6, 2nd &3rd no. is 12)
  so -20,-14,-2(ans)

• group in three
  -5+6=1 1-12=-11
  23+6=29 29-12=17
  -20+6=-14 -14-12=-26 so ans is -26
