Answer:

14, 32

Explanation:

45,15,44,17,40,20,31,25

this is combination of 2 series:

  • 45-44-40-31- ?
  • 15-17-20-25-?

In the first series we can see the pattern as:

  • -1, -4, -9 = -1², -2², -3² so next difference must be -4², which is 31- 16= 14

In the second series we can see the pattern as:

  • 2, 3, 5 prime numbers, so next difference must be 7, which is 25+7=32

The series will continue as:

  • 45, 15, 44, 17, 40, 20, 31, 25, 14, 32
