Discussion Forum : Number Series - Type 1 (Q.No. 9)
Directions to Solve
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
9.
Look at this series: 8, 22, 8, 28, 8, ... What number should come next?
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Here the logic is; 8 is an alternate common number.
So, 22 + 6 = 28
and again 28 + 6 =34.
So, The series is 8, 22, 8, 28, 8, 34.
So, 22 + 6 = 28
and again 28 + 6 =34.
So, The series is 8, 22, 8, 28, 8, 34.

From my analysis, the sequence begins with the number 8. It is increased by 14 to reach the next number, which is 22, and then decreased by 14 to return to the initial number, 8.
Similarly, the fourth number is incremented by 20 and then decremented by 20 in the subsequent number. It is evident that, except for 8, each sequential number in the sequence follows a pattern of increasing by multiples of 6 (14, 20, 26, 32.).
So the correct answer is 8 + 26 = 34.

So the correct answer is 8 + 26 = 34.

8+14 = 22.
8+20 = 28.
8+26 = 34.
8+20 = 28.
8+26 = 34.

8 is common number But 8 is leave it;
22 + 6 = 28.
28 + 6 = 34.
Hence the answer is '34'.
22 + 6 = 28.
28 + 6 = 34.
Hence the answer is '34'.

22-8 = 14
28-8 = 20. 14+20 = 34 is the next number.
28-8 = 20. 14+20 = 34 is the next number.

8 is common so we should alternative numbers that is 22 28.
Should subtract 28-22 = 6,
that should be added to 22 + 6 = 28,
28+6 = 34.
Should subtract 28-22 = 6,
that should be added to 22 + 6 = 28,
28+6 = 34.
