(8) Square root or cube root of numbers (7) Addition/subtraction/muttiplication/division by ‘some number or any other rafation, Example 1: Find the next term of the following series : 18, 18, 23, 30, 39, ? ‘Solution Clearly, the difference between two consecutive numbers is 3, 5, 7, 9 ........ Thus the next term is 39+ 11 Le. 50. 2: Find the next term of the following series. 3, 4, 8 17, 33? ). the difference between two consecutive is 1, 4,9, 16 etc. ie. 1%, 22, 3, 42, 2 ‘Thus the next term is 33 + 5* ie. 33 + 25 = 58 Example 3 : Find the missing term of the following sequence. 3, 7, 15, 31, 63, ? Solution : The difference between two consecutive numbers i 4,8, 16, 32, ? ‘The next term is 63 + 64 i¢. 127. Alternate method : Rule : Double the number and add one to it to get the next temic. 3x2+1=7 15x2+1=31 7x2+1=15 31x2+1=63 ‘Thus the missing term is 63 x 2+ 1 = 127 Example 4: Find the missing term of the following sequence. 5,11, 24, 51, 106, ? Solution : Doubie the number and then add 1, 2, 3, 4 ete Se2e120 WK2+25 26 2x2+3=51 51x24 42 106 Thus the next term is 106 « 2+ 5 = 217 Example 5: Find the missing term of the following series. 17, 33, 68, 133, 270, ?Solution ; Daun the feat umber and bac 1 ge te ‘Next term. Double the second tem ore 2 to gat the third number, Now double this ; ‘and subtract 3 from it and so on, Thus the nex! form is 2 x 270 - $e, 535, Example 6 ; Find the next term of the fofowing sequence, 7.9, 16 25, 41, 66 ? Solution : The third term is obtained by adding the previous two terms. 7 +9 = 16,9 + 16 = 25; 16 + 25 = 41, 25 + 41 = 66, Thus the next term is 41 + 66 ie. 107. Example 7: Find the mext term of the following sequence. 235.791? Solution : This is a prime number ‘series, so the next term is. 13, Example 8 : FFind the next term of the following sequence. 11, 22, 44, 77, 121, 2 ‘Solution ; ‘The dilerence between two consecutive numbers is M1, 22, 33,440. Next term is 121 +55 = 176. Example 9: Find the next term, 13, 35, 57, 79, 911, 9 Solution : Each term cons sists of two consecutive odd num: bers, hence the 1 Next term is 1113, Example 10: Find the next two missing terms of the following sequence. 92.358 10,15. 17.2.9 3s either two parallel sequences 0, 3, 8, 15, 2,5, 10, 17, 7 or one series with connected 0,2.5,810, 15,17, 2, Approach |: ’ 0, 3,8, 15, ?
