    Re: find the next two numbers

    [think the answer is 70.
    next number is 8.

    Solution:

    1,2,3-multiply 6/1=6.
    4,5,6-multiply 4*5*6=120/2=60
    5,6,7-multiply 5*6*7=210/3=70..

    I guess this.. but not very sure as to why the second set after 4,5,6,60 started again with 5.If we follow thta,., thenext number colud be 7 or 5!

    Re: find the next two numbers

    No raju..........your answer is wrong...

    See the title "find the next two number". it means its not a mathematical series. it's end with last two numebr..so find which contains 13 parts...

    For example week contains 7 days...vowels contains 5 letters...year contains 12 months....

    Re: find the next two numbers

    sorry suresh


    It is series question only! It was asked in satyam 's paper ,held at cochin (November 14).May be the title i have given is wrong , but they asked to find two numbers after this.

    Iam sure of first munber but not the second one !
    so i asked it!


    bye

    Re: find the next two numbers

    hi dont worry abt the second number! since i dont know the sec number , so whose answer best fits into the series,will be right!(infact ,i also want to know the sec number, so asked)

    explain ur ans with explanation.


    I know the first number(almost sure its right, since i have confirmed it from others).

    but i dont know the second number!
    If u get some clues tell me.Infact i made a mistake.I should have rather told every1 that i am not sure of the ans.(Infact i posted it in search of answer)

    bye

    Re: find the next two numbers

    hi nikhil

    i dont know the second one. I have told this in my previous posts itself(PLEASE READ MY PREVIOUS POSTS)!So i wanted to know the answer with some valid explanation!

    Infact my friend bought SOLVED(only answers) PAPERS of various recruiting companies.
    When he bought , he found this question.It was told their that it was asked in Satyam paper.He asked me, but i had no clue about the second number.But what i found strange was that they didnot gave the answer of second number!

    So i thought, its better to ask in this community, where there are many brilliant members, who are capable of solving the toughest questions.So probably they may have the answer.

    But iam creating no suspense!

    bye

    Re: find the next two numbers

    Hi, i think the answer will be 70 and 8 solution
    for 1st number: (1*2*3)/1=6
    (4*5*6)/2=60
    (5*6*7)/3=70 for second number ((1+2+3)-4)*3=6
    ((4+5+6)-5)*6=60
    ((5+6+7)-8)*7=70 so answer is 8... Add three numbers then subtract it by first number in the next set and multiply by last number in the current set... My god very good puzzle... Really teasing... Thanks
