- Here the answer is 129.
3-2=1
5-3=2
9-5=4
17-9=8
33-17=16
65-33=32
and now we need 64 for the next term so
65+64=129
and 129-65=64
so answer is 129 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(15) No(0)

- 129 is answer
4*2+9=17
8*2+17=33
16*2+33=65
similarly,
32*2+65=129 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(2)
- ans:129
difference between numbers 2 and 3 =1
3 and 5=2=>2*1
5 and 9=4=>2*2
9 and 17=8=>4*2
so difference between 33 and 65 is 32=>16*2
so next number should have a difference of 64 with 65 i.e next number will be 129 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)

- ans is 129
as given series 2,3,5,9,17,33,65
diff b/t 1st tow no is 1=2^0
then 3 and 5 diff is 2=2^1
then in b/t 5 and 9 is 4=2^2
in b/t 65 and 33 diff is 32=2^5
hence next diff is 2^6=64
hence next no is 64+65=129 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)

- next term in this series is:129
this series is incremented by 1,2,4,8,16,32,64,... - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- 129
since
2*2-1=3
3*2-1=5
5*2-1=9 and so on..
65*2-1=129
- 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- in this series there is gap double i.e., 1 then 2 then 4 then 8 and in last added 32 doubles i.e. 64 and answer becomes 129.

- 7) 5 17 35 65
12 18 30
3*4 3*6 3*10 3*16=48
so the next no will be 65+48=113
as the differnce between the sub series is of multiple of 2 like 3*4 n 3*6 is (6-4=2) and 3*10 n 3*6 is 4 and so on..
