@Anil

Your question is very good. The answer is 67.5

The series is 6,3,3,4.5,9,22.5,67.5
Explanation:
second number is divided by first number and so on that is
3/6=1/2=0.5
3/3 =1
4.5/3 =1.5
9/4.5 =2
22.5/9 =2.5
The division of difference is increased by o.5
The calculation of last number:
x/22.7 =3 because after 2.5 the difference is 3 thats why
x=3*22.7
x=67.5 this is answer

Difference between 53 - 40 is 13 & 40 - 27 is 13.

So 27 - 13 = 14 is answer.

If we add 53 and 53 like wise 40 and 40then subtract 106-80 the diff. Is 26 and at last adding 27 and 27 sums to 54 then subtract 26 it's 28 and 28 comes adding 14, 14.
