What is the next number of the following sequence
-15,-14, 34,32,-42 ,-39,58,54,-61,?
Read Solution (Total 7)
-
- -14-(-15) = 1
32-34 = -2
-39-(-42) = 3
54-58 = -4
so the next difference should be 5
x-(-61)=5
x=-56
Ans : -56
- 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(45) No(0)
- -15+1=-14
34-2=32
-42+3=-39
58-4=54
-61+5=56(ans) - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(3)
- consider 2 terms like:
-15-(-14)= -1
34 - 32 = -2
-42-(-39)= -3
58 - 54 = -4
therefore ,next difference should be -5, ie
-61 - ( x)= -5
x= -61 +5 =-56 is the answer. - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- decrease -1,-2,-3,-4 in b/n 2 num's
ans:-56 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- In decreasing order diff between two no's 1,-2,3,-4,5
ans:-56 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- -15,-14,34,32,-42,-39,58,54,-61,x
-15+1=-14
34-2=32
-42+3=-39
58-4=54
-61+5=-56
because series pattern is altenate sign with 1 increment in number - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- -14-(-15)=+1
32-34=-2
-39-(-42)=+3
54-58=-4
x-(-61)=+5
so x=-56
ans)-56 - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
