What is ? 46, 58, 74, 26, 18, 41, 53, 69, 21, ?

G.S.Kantharao   8 years AGO

46,58,74,26,18, (46-5),(58-5),(74-5),(26-5),(18-5)
Hence the answer is 13.
Right option is 6.

SANDEEP KUMAR MAHATO   8 years AGO

by subtracting each numbers in succession from its predecessor in the given number series from left to right

58-46 = 12

74-58 = 16

26-74 = -48

18-26= -8

41-18 = 23

53-41 = 12

69-53 = 16

21-69 = -48

so the next term 'x' in the series will be

x-21 = -8

or x = 13

hence option(6) will be the answer

Like? Yes | No

In 1st set
46+12=58
58+16=74

The series follows the pattern of adding and subtracting numbers (12,16,48,8,23...12,16,48,8,23...).
Tweleve is added to 46,
16 is added to 58.
48 is subtracted from 74.
Again 8 is subtracted from 26
and finally 23 is added to 18.
Following the pattern, 8 must be subtracted from 21 i.e.
(21-8)=13

Divide the series into two halves. One from 46 to 18 and the other 41 to ?. Now if we find the difference between every elements in the two series that we get, we can find the answer.
The first half:
46+12=58
58+16=74
74-48=26
26-8=18
Now the second half:
41+12=53
