Answer: Option E. -> 19 33

In this alternating repetition series, a random number, 33, is interpolated every third number into a simple addition series, in which each number increases by 2.

Answer: Option A. -> 23 28

This is an alternating subtraction series with repetition. There are two different patterns here. In the first, a number repeats itself; then 3 is added to that number to arrive at the next number, which also repeats. This gives the series 17, 17, 20, 20, 23, and so on. Every third number follows a second pattern, in which 3 is subtracted from each number to arrive at the next: 34, 31, 28.


Question 253. What number should come next?
11 16 21 26 31 36 41
  1.    47 52

Answer: Option C. -> 46 51

In this simple addition series, each number is 5 more than the previous number.


Question 254. What number should come next?
75 65 85 55 45 85 35
  1.    25 15

  4.    85 35
  5.    25 85
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option E. -> 25 85

This is a simple subtraction series in which a random number, 85, is interpolated as every third number. In the subtraction series, 10 is subtracted from each number to arrive at the next.


Question 255. What number should come next?
21 25 18 29 33 18
  1.    38 41
  2.    37 18

  4.    37 41
  5.    41 44
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 37 41

This is a simple addition series with a random number, 18, interpolated as every third number. In the series, 4 is added to each number except 18, to arrive at the next number.


Question 256. What number should come next?
6 20 8 14 10 8 12
  1.    14 10
  2.    14 14

  4.    2 18
  5.    4 12
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 2 14

This is an alternating addition and subtraction series. In the first pattern, 2 is added to each number to arrive at the next; in the alternate pattern, 6 is subtracted from each number to arrive at the next.


Question 257. What number should come next?
84 78 72 66 60 54 48
  1.    42 32
  2.    40 34

  4.    38 32
  5.    44 34
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 42 36

In this simple subtraction series, each number is 6 less than the previous number.


Question 258. What number should come next?
61 57 50 61 43 36 61
  1.    29 22
  2.    22 15

  4.    27 20
  5.    31 61
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 29 22

This is an alternating repetition series, in which a random number, 61, is interpolated as every third number into an otherwise simple subtraction series. Starting with the second number, 57, each number (except 61) is 7 less than the previous number.


Question 259. What number should come next?
3 8 13 18 23 28 33
  1.    38 43
