Question

സംഖ്യാ ശ്രേണിയിലെ അടുത്ത സംഖ്യ ഏത് ? 3, 10 , 29 , _____

• A. 66
• B. 42
• C. 39
• D. 127

Answer 1

Answer:

A. 66

1. The First Level of Differences

First, we look at how much each number grows to get to the next one:

• From 3 to 10: +7

• From 10 to 29: +19

At this stage, 7 and 19 don't show a clear pattern.

2. The Second Level of Differences

Now, we look at the difference between those gaps (7 and 19):

• From 7 to 19: +12

In many series puzzles, the second level of differences follows a mathematical table (like the 6 times table: 6, 12, 18, 24...). Since the gap here is 12, the next gap in the sequence should be 18.

3. Working Backwards to Find the Answer

Now that we have identified the pattern (+6 for every new gap), we move back up:

• Find the next First Difference:
  Take the previous difference (19) and add the new gap (18).
  $19 + 18 = \mathbf{37}$

• Find the next Number in the Series:
  Take the last number in your series (29) and add this new difference (37).
  $29 + 37 = \mathbf{66}$
