Find the values of ? in following series.
1. 840, 168, 42, 14, 7, ?
2. 5, 7, 10, 15, 22, ?
3. 1, 3, 3, 6, 7, 9, ?, 12, 21
I need solution along with logic
Answers
1.
840/5 = 168
168/4 = 42
42/3 = 14
14/2 = 7
7/1 = 7
Here previous number is divided by succeeded number
Hence 7 is the answer

2.
5 + 2 = 7
7 + 3 = 10
10 + 5 = 15
15 + 7 = 22
22 + 11 = 33
Here previous number is added by prime number
Hence, 33 is the next in series

3.
1 + 2 = 3
3 + 4 = 7
7 + 6 = 13
13 + 8 = 21
Here, 1st place number is added by 2 to get 3rd place
Similarly 3rd place is added by 4 to get 5th place and so on
Hence, 13 is the missing number
1.
840/5=168
168/4=42
42/3=14
14/2=7
Since above numbers are divided by the succeeded number,
7 is the answer.

2.
5+2=7
7+3=10
10+5=15
15+7=22
22+11=33
Since above numbers are added by prime numbers,
33 is the next series.

3.
1+2=3
3+4=7
7+6=13
13+8=21
Here, first place order is added by 2 to get third place and third place number is added by 4 to get fifth place and so on.
Hence, 13 is the missing number.
