Question

Find a number in the sequence

1) 100, 400, 610, ?, 652

2) 342, 128, ?, 26

Answer 1

1. 460

2. 216

Explanation:

1.

From the series ,

100 , 400 , 610 , ? , 652

Writing the the digits in the revere order , i.e

001 , 004 , 016 , ? , 256

Now,

Now , getting the number in the form of the multiple of 4 as -

1 , 1 * 4 = 4 , 4 * 4 = 16 , ? , 64 * 4 = 4

Hence , the value for ? = 16 * 4 = 64 .

Again , reversing 64 to get the missing number of the series -

460 .

Hence ,

The value for ? is 460 .

2.

From the series ,

342 , 128 , ? , 26

Now, multiplying the first digit with the second digit and merging it to the product of the second and third digit -

3 * 4 and 4 * 2 , 1 * 2 and 2 * 8 , ?

128 , 216 , ?

Hence ,

The value for question mark = 1 * 2 and 1 * 6 = 216

Hence ,

The value for ? is 216 .
