Logical Reasoning - Number Series - Discussion

Good one Question......P, rajendran is also right.

It's a series of number in which number is alternativaly changed by as usually +X and -8 and where X is jsut got number when it has a turn of +X to change series and then we use -8 and again we use +X which is the just got number by using -8.

Now we again using -8 and got a nuber and now we use +X where X is the just got number [normal like we are changing by +3 and -1.......only instead od fix 3 we have changable X that is changed in every step].

50 is also a Right answer. This Series follows multiple patterns!

14 28 20 40 32 64

14+6=20
20+12=32
32+18=50

28+12=40
40+24=64
64+36=100

The answer should be 50 100, why 56 112???

14 28 20 40 32 64 56 112..


14*2=28 14+6=20 20*2=40 20+(12)=32 32*2=64

32+24=56 56*2=122..........

We can also do it this way

14, 28 consider this as first set where the second number is twice as first number

20, 40 consider this as second set where the second number is twice as first number

32, 64 consider this as third set where the second number is twice as first number

Take the first number of each set 14, 20, 32 as A, B, C where B is A+6, C is B+12, so D would be C+24 and E would be D+48 and so on..

So, the next set would be 56, 112 and next to that would be 104, 208 and so on

One more answer is possible. 50
14 , 28(14x2) , 20(14+6), 40(20x2), 32(20+6x20) , 64(32x2), 50(32+6x3), 100(50x2)

@P.Rajendran..thought of the same thing but the ans isn't there in the options...

Ya its ok with procedure. But why should we take the nums 2 and 8?

s1:14,20,32,n,n1.......
s2:2*14,2*20,2*32,m,m1
20-14=6*1
32-20=6*2
ans:
s1:
n=32+6*2*2=32+24=56


s2=s1*2
m=n*2=56*2=112

series:

s1:14,20,32,56,
s2:2*14,2*20,2*32,112,
series:
s2:14, 28, 20, 40, 32, 64, 56,112

14
14*2=28
28-8=20
20*2=40
40-8=32
32*2=64
64-8=56
