Solution:
Two patterns alternate here, with every third number following the alternate pattern.
In the main series(1st series) 4, 7, 10,13, 16 ..... beginning with 4, 3 is added to each number to arrive at the next.
Secondary series (2nd series): 26, 20, ... beginning with 26, 6 is subtracted from each number to arrive at the next.
Therefore Next two number is 19(from 1st series), 14(from 2nd series).
19,14
135. Find out the wrong term: 93, 309, 434, 498, 521, 533
Solution:
The given sequence is a combination of two series:I. 0, 3, 8, 15, 24, 35 and II. 2, 5, 10, 18, 26The pattern in both I and II is + 3, + 5, + 7, + 9, .........So, in II. 18 is wrong and must be replaced by (10 + 7) i.e., 17.
138. 13, 29, 15, 26, 17, 23, 19, ... choose which pair of numbers comes next?
Solution:
Here, there are two alternating patterns, with every other number following a different pattern. The first pattern begins with 13 and adds 2 to each number to arrive at the next; the alternating pattern begins with 29 and subtracts 3 each time.
139. 36, 31, 29, 24, 22, 17, 15, ... choose which pair of numbers comes next?
