What is the next number of the following sequence
24, 42, 1/2, 2, 65, 56, 1 1/5, 5/6, 73, 37,?
Read Solution (Total 13)
-
- Just reverse the numbers nd then divide each digits for every numbers
24
reverse of 24 --42
divide first digit by 2nd digit 24 -- > 2/4 --> 1/2
nd then inverse it 2/1==2
folllow the same for 65
rev(65) -- 56
divide 6/5 ---> 1 1/5
inverse it 5/6
73
37
7/3-- 2 1/3
3/7
so d next terms ll be 2 1/3, 3/7 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(34) No(4)
- Look upon the series carefully
24, 42, 1/2, 2, 65, 56, 1 1/5, 5/6, 73, 37,?
First no. 24
reverse of the no. 42(2nd no.)
divide first digit by 2nd digit 24
2/4 = 1/2
& then inverse it 2/1 = 2
similarly
fifth No. = 65
reverse = 56
divide first digit by 2nd digit 65
6/5 = 1 1/5
& then inverse it 6/5 to 5/6
again similarly
ninth no = 73
reverse = 37
divide first digit by 2nd digit 73
7/3 = 2 1/3
& then inverse it 7/3 to 3/7
so answer will be 2 1/3 and 3/7

- @tejaswi
its not 11/5 ... its 1 1/5(mixed fraction) so 1*5+1/6

7/3 = 2 1/3
& then inverse it 7/3 to 3/7
so answer will be 2 1/3 and 3/7
nd then inverse it 2/1==2

- sorry 1 1/5 ( mixed fraction)
so 1*5+1/5= 6/5 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- next number in series is 7/3,3//7
here if we see that 24,42 ,1/2,2
than 2/4=1/2
4/2=2
similiarly
65,56,6/5,5/6
so here next term is 6/5 and 5/6
so on.. - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- SARASWATHY, how 6/5 is 11/5 . plz expain me??
- 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(1)
- Thank u..SARASWATHY
- 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- u r welcome @tejaswi

- THis is to inform you that there is recruitment drive of 'technical support' not of associate software engineer in panipat on 19th march .if any one having further information about package they are offering ? .let me know

- its all reverse and mirror image
2442
24-->2/4=1/2
42-->4/2=2
.
.
7337
73-->7/3=2 1/3
37-->3/7=3/7... so the next series is 2 1/3,3/7.

- 24 42, 1/2,2 ---- 1/2 is 2/4 and 2 is 4/2
65 56, 11/5 5/6 --- straight forward to understand
by same logic --- 73. 37. 7/3 - 6 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
