Question

What comes next in series 3, 13, 54, 143, 204 ___

Answer 1

Answer:

It is obvious that when finding the missing number of the next number in the series, there has to be some rule that can be followed. This rule can be used to find the next term or any number of terms in the series.

Step-by-step explanation:

But when we look at the pattern of the numbers that you have provided, it is obvious that the numbers in the series are not divergent types. Apart from this, there is no common difference between any two consecutive numbers in the series. Like the difference between first two numbers is 10, where as the difference between next two numbers is 41 while the difference between next two numbers is 89. The next difference comes down to 61. So no particular pattern is repeated till the digits that you have provided.

Apart from this, there is no particular order or rule that is followed by any two digits, consecutive or alternate, in the series. So I would suggest that the series is false.

You can get back after rechecking the numbers in the series….

Answer 2

Answer:

273

Step-by-step explanation:

Given What comes next in series 3, 13, 54, 143, 204 ___

In this series we can take alternate numbers, it will be multiples of 3. So

3 x 1 = 3

3 x 18 = 54

3 x 68 = 204

So we need to find the rest of the numbers other than these numbers.

So leaving the alternate numbers we have

13 + 130 = 143

143 + 130 = 273

So next number will be 273.
