Re: What is the next number

Give another two three terms...

Because if you give like this then lots of different logical answers you got..

Here is my first logic answer..

1,5,9,15,21,29,37,....(Logic: diff between two numbers going like 4,4,6,6,8,8..)

Re: What is the next number

Hi Manoj,

The answer is 21.

Logic:

It contains the numerical value of vowels.
A=1,E=5,I=9,O=15,U=21.
