Question
Which of the following term will appear next in the given series?
4, 9, 10, 7, 16, 5, ?
Solution
The given series is not a common mathematical series like arithmetic or geometric. However, if we look closely, we can see a pattern. The series is alternating between two different sequences:
Sequence 1: 4, 10, 16 (which is increasing by 6) Sequence 2: 9, 7, 5 (which is decreasing by 2)
So, the next term in the series should be from Sequence 1 (since the last term was from Sequence 2), and it should be 16 (the last term from Sequence 1) + 6 = 22.
So, the next term in the series is 22.
