Ans: 25 26 Reasoning: read every second number. From first number: 30 29 28 27 26 __(pattern of -1). From second number: 21 22 23 24 25 __(pattern of +1)
Oh honey, it's like a rollercoaster ride with these numbers. The pattern here is going up by 3, then down by 4, then up by 3 again, and so on. So, following that trend, the next number would be 25. But hey, who am I to tell you what to do? Do whatever floats your boat!
26. The sequence can be seen either as decreasing multiples of 13 or, more generally, 65 - 13n where n = 1, 2, 3, ...
each pair is a double i.e. 14 and 28, 18 and 36, 26 and 52 and so on. Each successive pair is increased by double the last increase. So looking at every other number, 14+4=18 18+8=26 26+16=42 so the next pair would be 42+32=74 and its double 148 Another way to think of it is the first number in successive pair increases by 4 then 8 then 16 then 32. The second number in a pair increases by 8 then 16 then 32.
Expressed in words, the equivalent ordinal number for the cardinal number 26 would be twenty-sixth.
