If we take multiple of 15 then 85 will be the answer.

How to resolve this ambiguity.

105-20=85.
85-25=60.
60-30=30.
30-35=-5.
-5-40=-45.
-45-45=-90.

Zero is answer.

I think 85 is also a correct answer because except 85 all are divisible by 3.

@Vekaria.

First series 39 is odd number.

Second series 42 is odd number.

Sushmitha said:   10 years ago
The answer should be 85 I think because all others are multiples of 3.

According to me 0 is neither odd nor even so 0 is the answer.
