In each series, look for the degree and direction of change between the numbers. In other words, do the numbers increase or decrease, and by how much
19.
Look at this series: 8, 6, 9, 23, 87 , ... What number should come next?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
8 x 1 - 2 = 6
6 x 2 - 3 = 9
9 x 3 - 4 = 23
23 x 4 - 5 = 87
87 x 5 - 6 = 429 ...

@Arthi.
It is a sequence of cubes.
So,
1^3 = 1.
2^3 = 8.
3^3 = 27.
4^3 = 64 .
Therefore, the answer is 64.

Then where the 8 come from.
Here. 8 x 1 - 2 = 6.
6 x 2 - 3 = 9.
9 x 3 - 4 = 23.
23 x 4 - 5 = 87.
87 x 5 - 6 = 429.
Then what is the logic for "8".
6 is not the first number here. 8 is the first number.

8 + 6 + 9 = 23 threw me off. Didn't come up with the solution. By far the hardest in the collection.

Very easy:
8*1 = 8-2 = 6.
6*2 = 12-3 = 9.
9*3 = 27-4 = 23.
23*4 = 92-5 = 87.
87*5 = 435-6 = 429.
So answer is 429.
8*1 = 8-2 = 6.
6*2 = 12-3 = 9.
9*3 = 27-4 = 23.
23*4 = 92-5 = 87.
87*5 = 435-6 = 429.
So answer is 429.

It was easy:
8x1-2 = 6.
6x2-3 = 9.
9x3-4 = 23.
23x4-5 = 87.
87x5-6 = 429.
It was easy question just think in other order.
8x1-2 = 6.
6x2-3 = 9.
9x3-4 = 23.
23x4-5 = 87.
87x5-6 = 429.
