What is the next number of the following sequence
1,3,4,1,9...
Read Solution (Total 17)
-
- (1, 3 ,4) (1, 9, x)
square of 1st group gives 2nd group
1^2 = 1
3^2 = 9
4^2 = 16
Ans : 16
- 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(58) No(1)
- 16
1^2=1
3^2=9
4^2=16 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(6) No(2)
- 1^2=1
3^2=9
4^2=16
ans is 16
OR
1+3=4
1+9=10
ans is 10 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(4) No(1)
- (1-3)^2=4 (consider 1,3)
(3-4)^2=1 (consider 3,4)
(4-1)^2=9(consider 4,1)
(1-9)^2=64
so the sequence will be 4 1,3,4,1,9,64 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(4) No(2)

- 1+3=4
1+9=10 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(6)
- Ans:16
The square of 1st number is 4th number and similarly 2nd is equal to square of 4th number..
1^2=1
3^2=9
so 4^2=16 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- The last 2 numbers are squares of 1st two numbers:
Therefore the series is:
(1,3,4)(1^2,3^2,4^2)
Hence the ans is 16. - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- The last 2 numbers are square of the first 2 numbers.
(1,3,4)(1^2,3^2,4^2)
So the answer is 16. - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- 16
1^2=1
3^2=9
4^2=16
- 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- 3-1=2,2^2=4
4-3=1
1-4=-3,-3^2=9
9-1=8
hence next term is 8 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- 1,3,4,1^2,3^2,4^2..
answer 16 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- 1+3=4,4-3=1,1+3+4+1=9,9-(4+1)=4
- 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- 4-1=3
x-1=9
x=10
so the next term is 10 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- since series is 1,3,4,1,9....
1^2=1
3^2=9
hence,4^2=16 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- decomposing theseries in 2 halves we get'
i)1,4,9= 1^2, 2^2, 3^3
ii) 3,1,-1 taking the common difference as 2 here
so the resulting series can be
1,3,4,1,9,-1 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- ans...12..
there are three sequences...1,3,4
remaining term are tree times before terms... - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
