Question

What is the next number in the series 4,12,6,9,8,6

Answer 1

The next number in the series is 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

The next number in the series 4,12, 6, 9, 8, 6 is 9.

To identify the pattern in the series, we can observe that the numbers alternate between increasing and decreasing. The first number, 4, is followed by an increase of 8 (4 + 8 = 12). Then, there is a decrease of 6 (12 - 6 = 6). The next number is obtained by adding 3 to the previous number (6 + 3 = 9). Hence, the next number in the series is 9.

Answer 2

The next number is going to be 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

The odd term of the series, for example, the 1st term, 3rd term , 5th term and so on are figured out by adding 2 to each of the preceding term .

and the even term of the series, for example, the 2nd term, 4th term, 6th term , 8th term, etc, are figured out by subtracting 3 to each of the preceding term.

For example -

odd series is:

4+2=6

6+2=8

8+2=10

even term of the series:

12-3=9

9-3=6
