find the next two numbers

hi

1,2,3,6,4,5,6,60,5,6,7,....?:confused:

bye

:)

[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!:confused:

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....

no ans is not 70

is it 600 and 8

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!

I'm get lot of answers for First number... I'm little confused with Second number...
Hey shenoy u told u r also not sure abt the second number how can i know the answer... atleast some clues...

hi.. i agree wid manoj,
give some clue shenoy...

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

Hey Shenoy i got 70, 210 and 600 as the first number... Which one is your answer for first number... Still trying for second number...

HI ,

Still waiting for your answer. Because as i did its not coming on second one .

Don't make more suspanse . Clarify the answer..

Nikhil Rattan

hi manoj


ya, first number is 210. But not sure of second number.If you get some good answer with valid explanation then let me know.

By the way its nice that you didnot forget about this question(Infact i forgot).


Thanks for your dedication!


bye
:D

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!

:D

Answer is 600
cause
1,2,3 ,6,
4,5,6 ,60,
5,6,7 ,600?
right

Hi Kumaran,

First number may also be 600... But the problem over here is 2nd number...
My answer for first number is 210...

Thanks
Manoj:)

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
manoj:)

Hi Shenoy,

Tell me whether my solution is correct or not...

Thanks
Manoj:)

Hi manoj,
Even I thought in similar line and posted it earlier.. But shenaoy said it was not the right answer.. Please refer to my prev post in page 1.

But Raju,

Since everyone dont know the second number thats y shenoy told ur answer is wrong... even i thought like that... but ur answer gave me a clue to find the second number... i think ur answer is telling only about the first number not the second number... anyway credit for finding first number is urs... Good work Raju.

Thanks
Manoj:)

Thanks manoj:)

But even i ended up with 8 as the answer first and then realised that was wrong.But is the series coming correctly???

[Also manoj., ddi u notice one thing., for the first set of three numbers we r multiplying and to arrive at 60 we start from 4,5,6?

But for the third., acc to the series it should be 7*8*9.But we r multiplying 5*6*7 as against 3*4*5 in the prev set.. this is a bit confusing!!:confused:

Hi Raju,

I think the Series is perfect... I want Shenoy to confirm this... He is the owner of this post...
I request Shenoy to validate this answer....

Thanks
Manoj:)

Shenoy,
wats up man?? come on.. validate the answer soon!!!

Hi Raju,

This is the main clue for finding the answer... The first number is the third set and last number in the second set depends on the result for the previous set... Here 8 depends on 70 and 7 depends on 70... that made me to find the commonality and i got that...(But took very long time...)

Thanks
Manoj:)

Hi guys
Raju and manoj , i really thank you for showing so much interest!
you both seems to be correct and i have to accept your answers. But i feel no one read my first and second post on second page(even in my posts on first page).Their i have mentioned my situation clearly!Earlier i said your(raju's) answer wrong based on the first number.It didnot matched the answer with their's(solved one).Their they mentioned it as 210.

Even i got 210 as first number .What i thought was

divide the series into group of four.You can see that every fourth number is LCM of first three numbers.

But i too never found the second number.So asked you all.I have mentioned it clearly in amlost all my posts.

But now i think no other answer fits here!So i think we may have to accept 70 and 8.Hope u all are getting me!
bye
:D
