What is the next number of the following sequence
1/5 , 1/2 , 1/3 , 2/5 ,1, 2/3, 3/5, 1 1/2 ,1, 4/5,?
Read Solution (Total 5)
-
- ans is 2
look at the series (1/5,1/2,1/3) for the triplet of dr(5,2,3) nr is 1
in the same way for next nr is taken as 2 then(2/5,2/2( given as 1),2/5)
and for 3 as(3/5,3/2(given as 1 1/2),3/3(given as 1))
then for 4 as (4/5,4/2 i...e 2 is the answer) - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(20) No(0)
- ans is 2
there are 3 different series-
1/5,2/5,3/5,4/5...
1/2,1,3/2,....
1/3,2/3,3/3(i.e. 1)...
so from second series next no will be 2
therefore answer is 2

- answer is 2
because after 1/5-------------->1/2 comes
after 2/5-------------->1/2+1/2=1 comes
after 3/5--------------->1+1/2=1 1/2 comes
after 4/5--------------->3/2+1/2=2 comes

- 1/5,1/2,1/3,->numerator is 1
2/5,2/2,2/3,->numerator is 2
3/5,3/2,3/3,->numerator is 3
4/5,4/2,4/3->numerator will be 4 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- ans is 4.
look at the series(1/5,2/5,3/5,4/5)
2 series is (1/2,1,4/2,4)and 3rd series is (1/3,2/3,1)
