26. for the pattern: add 10, subtract 5, add 10, subtract 5, ...
the series is given as x+10-5
so here
16+10= 26-5=21+10=31-5=26
so next no. is 26

the answer will be 21
The series appears to be following a pattern where each number is the result of a mathematical operation on the previous numbers. In this case, the pattern seems to be adding consecutive odd numbers starting from 1. 1 + 8 = 9 9 + 9 = 18 18 + 7 = 25 25 + 2 = 27 27 - 6 = 21 Following this pattern, the next number in the series would be 21 + 1 = 22.
Let the number be 'm' & 'n' Hence Product ; mn = 80 Sum ; m + n = 21 m = 21 - n Substitute (21 - n) n = 80 21n - n^2 = 80 n^2 - 21 n + 80 = 0 It is now in quadratic form to factor. ( n - 16)(n - 5) = 0 Hence the numbers are 5 & 16
it would be 21. I think the answer is -22. Because -16 + -21= -37 + 15= -22
21 over 10 as a mixed number is 21/10
