-
- 1> 4-1=3 and 3+3=6
6-1=5 and 5+6=11
11-1=10 and 10+9=19
19-1=18 and 18+12=30
30-1=29 and 29+15=44
so the next no in series is 44

- 5) 1370-1320=50
1320-1070=250=(50*5)
1070-(-180)=1250=(250*5)
-180-(-6430)=6250=(1250*5)
so,ans=-6430 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(13) No(0)
- 6).5+1.5=2
3+1.5=4.5
6.75+1.5=8.25
ans is 8.25 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(8) No(2)
- Explaination of answers:
4) (4.2,26.0,8.9),(8.4,52.0,17.8),(16.8,104.0,...)
4.2*2=8.4
26.0*2=52.0
8.9*2=17.8
Then,
8.4*2=16.8
52.0*2=104.0
17.8*2=35.6 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(8) No(1)
- Ans no.8:
there is series of square and then plus 2.
1 =1
1^2=1
1+2=3
3^2=9
9+2=11
11^2=121
121+2=123
So the ans is 123....

- Explanation of answer:
9) (48,24),(35,7),(16,8),(75,15),(80,...) answer : 40
48/2=24
35/5=7
16/2=8
75/5=15
80/2=40 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(5) No(1)
- Explanation of answer :
10) (1.8,3,0.6),(2.5,5,0.5),(3.4,2,1.7),(4.8,6,...) answer : 0.8
pattern is like (a,b,c) : a/b=c
1.8/3=0.6
2.5/5=0.5
3.4/2=1.7
similarly,
4.8/6=0.8

- ans for qus1:
4-3=1,6-3=3(i.e.3*1=3)
6-5=1,11-5=6(i.e.3*2=6)
11-10=1,19-10=9(i.e.3*3=9)
19-18=1,30-18=12(i.e.3*4=12)
30-29=1, by seeing this series it is conform that next multiple of 3 is (3*5=15)
so the next no must be 29+15=44.
so the ans:44 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(4) No(1)
- Explanation of answers:
5)1370,1320,1070,-180,...
1370-50=1320
1320-(50*5)=1070
1070-(50*5*5)=-180
-180-(50*5*5*5)=-6430 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(4) No(1)
- ans:184.4
(30.5,31,30)0(67.2,67,70)100(183.9,_,_)
30.5+0.5=31 ;31-1=30
67.2-0.2=67; 67+3=70
like that repeats
183.9+0.5=184.4(ans) - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(4)
- Question 2) Answer 9
Explanation
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3,4,5,6 is a separate series (which has no relation with the answer anyway)
set 1------> (4.5,7) diff. is 2.5 --> Decimal followed by Number
set 2------>(6,8.5) diff. is 2.5 --> Number followed by Decimal
set 3------>(7.5,10) diff. is 2.5 --> Decimal followed by Number
set 4------>(?,?) --> Number followed by Decimal(Obviously)
If you look carefully,
adding 1 to the Number in set 1(7) gives the Whole part of Decimal in set 2(8 in 8.5)
adding 1 to the Number in set 2(6) gives the Whole part of Decimal in set 3(7 in 7.5)
adding 1 to the Number in set 3(10) gives the Whole part of Decimal in set 2(11 in 11.5)
so if you have to get 11.5 as Decimal in set 4 the Number should be 9
Finally set 4------>(9,11.5)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hence 9 is the answer

- ans 1:4+2=6, 6+5=11, 11+8=19, 19+11=30 n 30 +14=44...
ans 9: 24*2=48, 7*5=35, 8*2=16, 15*5=75, n the ans is: 40*2=80.. 40 is the ans - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- 8Q ans: 1,1,3,9,11,121 = 1,1^2,3,3^2,11,11^2.
1,3,11 sequence difference are 2,8 = 2,2^3.
so next will 8^3 = 512
so the ans is : 512+11 = 523 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(6)

(30.5, 31), (30,0) , (67.2 , 67), (70, 100), (189.9 , ?)
(30.5, 31) >> increased by 0.5
(30,0) >> increased by 30
(67.2 , 67) >> decreased by 0.2
(70, 100) >> increased by 30
(189.9 , ?) >> from the first and the third couples we can see that -0.7 is the number what the followings.
means: first +0.5
third - 0.2
difference between them -0.7
so, fifth couple : difference second and -0.7 is -0.9
ans= 189.9- 0.9 = 183 - 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
