GIVEN
A continuous series of positive numbers.
141,155,171,189,209
FIND
We are asked to find next two numbers of the series.
SOLUTION
- To solve these questions we must find the relation between the numbers.
- Generally there exist a common relation in their sum or difference or product between the numbers.
By observation,
- Difference between first and second number is 155-141=14.
- Difference between second and third number is 171-155=16.
Similarly, the remaining differences are 18,20.
Hence the differences gets incremented by 2 for each new term.
- The next term should have difference of 22 with last term 209 hence , new term is 209+22 = 231.
- The next term should have difference of 24 with last term 231 hence , new term is 231+24 = 255.
The two terms are 231 and 256 for the above series .
