The answer is 70 which is the constant for the given series.

I think answer should be 60 because the logic is:

+1 + 5 - 21 + 1 + 5 -21.

There is no logic behind why 70 has taken as constant you have to assume it by your reasoning skill.

I think the answer should be 96 then the next number will be 70 as it is constant after 2 digits.

70 71 76 ____ 81 86 70 91.

The answer is:

71 + 5 = 76.

81 + 5 = 86.

91 + 5 = 96.

Different number is 5. 5 is add the next number but the 70 is common number. So the correct answer is 70 friends.
