Description:
2) alternative prime series and missing alernate terms...
11,(13),17,(19),23,(29),31,(37),41
Note: 39 is not a prime number(3*13=39).
So answer is 41.
8)This is also related to prime number series.
But in this the alternate prime number is replaced by (prime number * 2)
2,(3*2=6),5,(7*2=14),11,(13*2=26),17,(19*2=38)
So answer is 38...
