NAVEEN KUMAR 10 years AGO

9,19,39,79...

The difference between 9 and 19 is 10
The difference between 19 and 39 is 20
The difference between 39 and 79 is 40
so, next diff=40*2=80
next number=80+79=159
or,
9+2*5=19
,19+2*2*5=39
39+2*2*2*5=79
similarly--79+2*2*2*2*5=159(option 3)

The difference between 9 and 19 is 10
The difference between 19 and 39 is 20
The difference between 39 and 79 is 40

So it looks as if the difference is being doubled each time, so the next answer will have a difference of 2*40, or 80
79+80=159

Dinesh thatti 10 years AGO

if you take difference between above series we get 10,20,40

which means we are getting the double of 1st one so add double of 40 i.e 80 to 79 we get 159

APOORV 10 years AGO

19-9=10 than 10*2 is next differentiating value
lets see
39-19=20 hence we can predict from ques that 20*2 will be next differentiating number
so
79-39=40
so next differentiating value would be 40*2=80
to get next number to 79 we must add 80 to it
so 79+80=159
option 3) is correct
