Question

Find what is next in the series 62,79,98,119,142

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sf{79 - 62 = 17}\\\sf{98 - 79 =19 }\\\sf{119 - 98 = 21}\\\sf{142 - 119 = 23}\\\sf{here\:we\:can\:see\:the\:difference\:between \:numbers\:increasing}\\\sf{with"2"}$

$\mathtt{the\;answer\: = 142 + 25 = 167}$

Answer 2

Given:

A sequence of numbers 62, 79, 98, 119, 142.

To Find:

The next term of the series.

Solution:

The given problem can be solved by developing a common logic between every term

1. The given series is 62, 79, 98, 119, 142.

2. The second term of the series is obtained using the logic,

=> 79 - 62 = 17,

3. The third term of the series is obtained using the logic,

=> 98 - 79 = 17 + 2,

4. The fourth term of the series is obtained using the logic,

=> 119 - 98 = 17 + 2 + 2,

5. The fifth term of the series is obtained using the logic,

=> 142 - 119 = 17 + 2 + 2 + 2,

6. The logic between every term is 17 + adding 2 for every term,

=> The sixth term of the series is obtained using the same logic,

=> Sixth term = 142 + 17 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2,

=> Sixth term = 169.

Therefore, 169 is the next term in the series.
