I think 3 is the answer...

Solution:
Split the series into 3

3,3,5 4,4,3 5,5,4 3,?

3,3,5
4,4,3
5,5,4
So the next term should be with 3,3,5

hi manoj

yes u r correct!
but there is other solution too!


take first 5 terms ,u can clearly see '5' lies b/w (3,3) and (4,4)


similarly '3' lies b/w (4,4) and (5,5)

therefore '4' should lie b/w(5,5) and (3,.....)


..... represetns the next term in series!
Clearly it should be '3'.

Ya Mangai plz give explanation for ur answer... Hi Suresh can u plz give me one more clue...

I think the answer is 6...

Jus consider the numbers:
1-one-3 letters
2-two-3 letters
3-three-5 letters

11-eleven-6 letters..
So i guess the ans is 6...
