FIND THE NEXT TWO TERMS .....
5 25 61 113 181 ____ _____
this much quation only
can u explain hemant kumar
ANSWER IS 263 and 361, I guess.
Odd numbers between 5 and 25 are 9 ,
betwween 25 and 61 are 17 ,
between 61 and 113 are 25
between 113 and 181 are 33
So
the edifference by which Odd numbers are skipped are 9, 17 ,25 and 33
again difference between 9 ,17 ,25 ,33 is the same that is--- 8.
so the next difference will be 33 +8= 41 and 41+8= 49
therefore
the next 42 th Odd number after 181 comes to 263 and
50 th Odd number after 263 comes to 361.
PLEASE CORRECT ME IF I AM WRONG .
can u explain hw u got that 20
and if u take 16 than
5+16=21
or
ur explaination starwit 25 wht abut 5
WHAT ABOUT MY ANSWER POSTED ABOVE ,PLEASE ANYONE REPLY .
I HAVE JUST NOW MODIFIED IT FOR A TYPING MISTAKE .
thanks ca sonia

This method is the right one I think because finding the number of odd numbers between two numbers is a tricky thing so addition and difference of two consecutive numbers and applying logic is the more appropriate method to solve it.

@ CA SONIA I agree with you. But let us consider this question from another angle
If we decided to consider EVEN NUMBER ALSO ,Then also EVEN Numbers between 5 and 25 are 10,
again EVEN Numbers between 25 and 61 are 18
again EVEN numbers between 61 and 113 are 26 and so on .
VERY IMPORTNAT THING IS THAT you take odd numbers or even numbers the number or volume of odd or even number will approximately be the same
.So the result is that the difference between 10 and 18 and 26 will AGAIN come to 8.
So I think that The Answer will be the same even when we take EVEN numbers as the base .
