What is the next number of the following sequence
-3, 6, 1, -2, 4, -1, -1, 2, -3,.... ?
Read Solution (Total 9)
-
- ans: 0
observe the sequence
-3 ... -2 ... -1 ... 0 ....
6 ... 4 ... 2 ... 0 ....
1 ... -1 ... -3 ...-5 .... - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(35) No(0)
- sol: group the numbers
(-3,6,1) (-2,4,-1) (-1,2,-3) ?
diff of 1 in first term of each set
diff of -2 in second terrm of each set
diff of -2 in third term of each set
so logically the next three terms can b (0,0,-5) ans - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(7) No(0)
- each place 1st, 4th, 7th, 10th...... decreased by 1
each place 2nd, 5th, 8th, 11th .... decreased by 2
each place 3rd, 6th, 9th, 12th ..... decreased by 2
so next term is 0
so series is -------
-3, 6, 1, -2, 4, -1, -1, 2, -3, 0, 0, -5 - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- 0.
-3+x=(+)or(-)3
6-3=3
1+2=3
-2-1=-3
4-1=3 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)

- set of 3
(-3,6,1),(-2,4,-1),(-1,2,-3),
here 1st term of every set is decremented by 1,i.e. -3,-2,-1 so enxt term should be 0. - 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- -3+9=6
6-5=1
-2+(9-3)=4
4 -5 =-1
-1+(9-6)=2
2-5 =-3
0+(9-9)=0
0-5 =-5
last series is 0,0,-5 so ans is 0 - 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- (-3,-2,-1,0),
(6, 4, 2, 0),
(1,-1,-3,-5) - 5 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
