Q:
Find the next two numbers in the sequence
4, 12, 6, 18, 12, 26, 30, ?, ?
Answer & Explanation
Answer: A) 36 & 90
Explanation: the next 2 number in series we need to divide the series into 2 different series
First series : 4 , 6, 12, 30 ??
Second Series : 12,18,26, ??
So we need to see for the pattern for those series in order to find the next two number , we can do this by finding the difference or division , multiplication logic whatever may apply :
6 divide 4 : 1.5
Next number i.e 12 divided by 6=2
Next number i.e 30 divided by 12 =2.5
So series is going in multiples of 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3 , so on
So first series will look like
4 , 6, 12, 30, 30x3 =90
- Pattern of Series 2 : 12,18,26, ??
Its simple Adding numbers with iterative logic (i.e 6, 8, then followed by 10, 12)
Series will be like 12,18,26,36.
For the next two numbers : Series will be like 4, 12, 6, 18, 12, 26, 30, 36, 90
