(52,62,42)=52+10=62,52-10=42
(78,89,68)=78+11=89,78-10,68
(49,61,39)=49+12=61,49-10=39
(63,76,53)=63+13=76,63-10=53
So answer is 53

for 2)
(-3 -6 -9) (-82 -80) (-30 -33 -36) (-55 -53) (-24
-3-3=-6 -6-3=-9
-82+2=-80

-30-3=-33 -33-3=36
-55+2=-53

then next number is -24
so the answer is -24-3=-27

2.2,5.5,8,36,40.5,263.25,340,748,1714,?

Make pairs

(2.2,5.5), (8,36), (40.5,263.25), (340,748), (1714,x)

5.5/2.2 = 5/2
36 / 8 = 9/2
263.25/40.5 = 13/2
748 / 340 = 17/2

SO , X / 1714 = 21/2

Then: X = 1714*21/2 = 17997

Ans :17997

1. 2.2,5.5,8,36,40.5,263.25,340,748,1714,?
(2.2,5.5),(8,36),(40.5,263.25),(340,748),(1714,x)
5.5=2.2*2+2.2/2
36=8*4+8/2
263.25=40.5*6+40.5/2

748=2*340+340/5
x=4*1714+1714/5=7198.8

Sunita kumari  (6 years ago)

2)-3,-6,-9,-82,-80,-30,-33,-36,-55,-53,-24,?

make a pair of 3 or 2 element
(-3,-6,-9) ,(-82,-80),(-30,-33,-36),(-55,-53),(-24,-?__,-?__)

now,in 3element pair we have to subtract(-3)from each...i.e; -3-3=-6
-6-3=-9


and in 2pair element we have to add +2..i.e; -82+2=-80

so ANS. is (-24-3=-27)

thanks.
