Question

5, 24, 48, 72, 312, ___, 168

Answer 1

480 is the missing number.

Step-by-step explanation:

• The above question is an example of a number series.
• Number series are mathematical calculations based on a format which are used to figure out a missing number in a specific series.
• Following is the format for the above series

1. 72-48=24
2. 312+168=480
3. Therefore, 480-312=168

• In the above series, alternate pairs are subtracted. The second number is subtracted from the third number to get the first number and vice versa.

Answer 2

Answer:

Answer is 120.

Step-by-step explanation:

Always starts this type of questions by taking differences between the terms as-

24–4=20,

48–24=24,

80–48=32,

Can you find something? Lets see difference as-

20= 5*4= (5)*4

24= 6*4= (5+1)*4

32= 8*4= (5+3)*4

Here we can see, ‘odd no. series 1,3,5,7…’ in addition with 5, so next difference should be-

(5+5)*4= 10*4= 40,

And next term should be-

120 as 120–80=40,

And after that next difference should be-

(5+7)*4= 12*4= 48

And next term should be

168 as 168–120=48.
