Read Solution (Total 13)
-
- ans for 5,16,22,68,28,87,106,?
make a group of two nos each starting from left side i.e. {(5,16),(22,68),(28,87),(106,?)}
5,16-> 5*3+1=16
22,68-> 22*3+2=68
28,87-> 28*3+3=87
106,?-> 106*3+4=322
thus the next no in the series will be 322. - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(30) No(0)
