What should come in the place of Question marks (?) in the following series?
1) 43 , 62 , 84 , 109 , 137 , ?
Lets check the difference between numbers-
62 - 43 =19
84 - 62 =22
109 - 84 =25
137 - 109 =28
The difference of the two consecutive numbers are-
19 , 22 , 25 , 28 ,
So it is clear that
(19 + 3) = 22
(22 + 3) = 25
(25 + 3) = 28
(28 + 3) = 31
so 137 + 31 = 168
? = 168
2) 2 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 9 , 12 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 19 ?
Lets check the difference between numbers-
7 - 2 = 5
8 - 7 = 1
9 - 8 = 1
9 - 9 = 0
12 - 9 = 3
17 - 12 = 5
18 - 17 = 1
19 - 18 = 1
19 - 19 = 0
As we see the the difference between numbers - 5 , 1 , 1 , 0 , 3
and repeate again- 5 , 1 , 1 , 0 so the next number will be 3
19 + 3 = 22
? = 22
