Question

what is the next number? 7,10,12,10,14,?

Answer 1

Solution:

10 - 3 = 7

12 - 2 = 10

So, 14 - 1 = 13.

Another logic:

Assume the series as (10, 12, 14) (7, 10, ?).

(10, 12, 14) => increasing with 2.

(7, 10, ?) => increasing with 3.

The next number is 13.

The difference of 10 and 7 is 3.

The difference of 14 and 10 is 4.

The difference of 18 and 3 is 5.

Answer 2

Given:

7 , 10 , 12 , 10 , 14

To find :

The next number in series .

Solution:

Step 1 of 2:

Two series are combined here,

10 , 12 , 14 is one of the series of AP with common difference 2.

7 , 10 is other series of AP with common difference 3.

Step 2 of 2:

In the first series ,

10 + 2 = 12

12 + 2 = 14

14 + 2 = 16 and goes on

In second series ,

7 + 3 = 10

10 + 3 = 13

So, the next number in the series is 13.

Final answer:

The next number of 7 , 10 , 12 , 10 , 14 is 13.
