What is the next number of the following sequence
48, 24, 35,7,16 ,8,75,15, 80,40, ?

• 48,24,35,7,16,8,75,15,80,40,275,55,102,51,530,106 is the series
  
  48/2=24 & 35/5=7
  16/2=8 $ 75/5=15
  now we have to add the numbers we get on dividing by 5 and 2 in order to get the next two numbers of the series.
  i.e 7+8=15 & 15*5=75
  similarly, 15+40=55 & 55*5=275 so the next two numbers are 275 and 55.
  its a difficult series so try to understand the solution carefully.

• (48,24),(16,8),(80,40)
  (35,7),(75,15)...
  7-15=8; 15-x=8. then x=23
  next numbers are 23*5=115...(115,23)

• 48/2=24,16/2=8,80/2=40
  35/7=5,75/15=5
  so,35+40=75...7+8=15
  75+40=115...15+8=23
  115/23=5
