Directions to Solve

Choose the correct alternative that will continue the same pattern and replace the question mark in the given series.


2.
2, 15, 4, 12, 6, 7, ?, ?
8, 8
8, 0
3, 8
None of these
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Let the missing terms of the series be x1 and x2.

Thus, the sequence 2, 15, 4, 12, 6, 7, x1 x2 is a combination of two series :

I. 2, 4, 6, x1 and II. 15, 12, 7, x2I consists of consecutive even numbers.

So, missing term, x1 = 8.

The pattern in II is - 3, - 5,......So, missing term, x2 = 7 - 7 = 0.

Lets separate it.
2+2 = 4.
4+2 = 6.
6+2 = 8.

And the second answer.
15-12 = 3.

12-7 = 5 the next odd number.
7-7 = 0.
