• 13
  27/3
  (27+3)/2=30/2=15
  (30-4)/3=26/3
  (26+3)/2=29/2
  (29-4)/3=25/3
  (25+3)/2=28/2=14
  (28-4)/3=24/3=8
  (24+3)/2=27/2
  (27-4)/3=23/3
  (23+3)/2=26/2=13

• 27/3=9
  30/2=15
  26/3
  29/2
  25/3
  28/2=14
  24/3=8
  so, nxt will be 27/2, but it is given 26/2
  23/3
  so, ansr will be 26/2

• series is x/3, y/2, (x-1)/3, (y-1)/2
  so 25/2
• 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(4) No(0)
• 9.26/3,25/3,8,23/3-difference is 1/3
  15,29/2,14,27/2-difference is 1/2 so next term will be 26/2
• 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(4) No(0)
• 27/3 30/2 26/3 29/2 25/3 28/2 24/3 26/2 23/3,____
  ans is 12 or 24/2
• 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(3)
• 27/3,30/2,26/3,29/2,25/3,28/2,24/3,26/2,23/3
  
  26/2 should be 27/2
  ans:26/2
• 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(2)
• 13
  each second term is deduced by 0.5
  so 26/2=13

• Alternative terms:even and odd
  27/3(9),26/3,25/3,24/3(8),23/3
  30/2(15),29/2,28/2(14),27/2

• As we can see there is two series,
  1. (9,26/3,25/3,8,23/3) [here every number is subtracted by 1/3]
  2. (15,29/2,14,26/2,?) [here every number is subtracted by 1/2]
  so the next term of the series will be = (26/2-1/2)=25/2.
  Ans=25/2 (correct).
