hi suresh
ans is "97"! am o correct?
bye:)
Answer is 79...
Solution
The next number is formed by adding the previous number with the individual digit in the number...
eg:-
25=17+1+7
32=25+2+5
37=32+3+2 and so on
Final value is 71+1+7=79
hi
i got 97 since
result
25-17=8
32-25 =7 result is decreased by 1 compared to previous result
37-32=5 result is decreased by 2 compared to prev result
47-37=10 result is doubled compared to prev result
58-47=11 result is increased by1 compared to previous result
71-58 =13 result is increased by 2 compared to previous result
now the previous result should b doubled!
i.e 13*2=26
therefore 71+26=97
thats what i thought!
bye:)
Good Shenoy its also a good approach...
It is possible for a problem to have multiple solution...
One more request please provide solution when u post a reply so others also can learn...
hi manoj
yes , iwill take care of it! :D
but I dont write solution only when i answer the puzzle first(or say before 3hrs or so)!the only reason y i dont give solution is that i want others to think!( i want others to read and they should equally enjoy the question) .
What i think(personal view) is that giving solutions in the very first post itself kills the anxiety of others!
I hop u r getting my point!There is no reason other than this!
bye
:)
Yeah shenoy u r correct.. i didnt thought about that...
79.........
79 is the correct answer....
shenoy thinking differently....I post this puzzle using manoj concept....
