Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
10 17 31 ? 115 277
7 14 28 56 112
31 + 28 = 59
? = 59
Concept:
When sequence follow a particular pattern, it becomes a series.
Given:
We are given the series:
10, 17, 31, ?, 115, 277
Find:
We need to find the missing number.
Solution:
Let the missing number be x.
So, the series become:
10 17 31 x 115 277
Now we can see that the difference between the each number in the series has a pattern that is:
17 - 10 = 7
31 - 17 = 14
277 - 115 = 162
So, the difference is increasing by 2 times in the pattern.
So, x should be:
x - 31 = 28
x = 31 + 28
x = 59
This will complete the pattern as:
17 - 10 = 7
31 - 17 = 14
59 - 31 = 28
115 - 59 = 56
277 - 115 = 162
Therefore the missing number is 59.
