Number Series - Type 2
Practice and master this topic with our carefully crafted questions.
Look carefully for the pattern, and then choose which pair of numbers comes next.
This is an alternating subtraction series in which 2 is subtracted twice, then 3 is subtracted once, then 2 is subtracted twice, and so on.
This is an alternating addition series, with a random number, 35, interpolated as every third number. The pattern of addition is to add 2, add 5, add 2, and so on. The number 35 comes after each "add 2" step.
This is an alternating addition and subtraction series, in which the addition of 4 is alternated with the subtraction of 3.
This simple addition series adds 4 to each number to arrive at the next.
This is an alternating subtraction series, which subtracts 5, then 2, then 5, and so on.
Here, there are two alternating patterns. The first begins with 17 and adds 2; the second begins with 32 and subtracts 3.
This is a simple addition series with repetition. It adds 3 to each number to arrive at the next, which is repeated before 3 is added again.
In this simple subtraction with repetition series, each number is repeated, then 3 is subtracted to give the next number, which is then repeated, and so on.
Two patterns alternate here. The first pattern begins with 10 and adds 2 to each number to arrive at the next; the alternating pattern begins with 34 and subtracts 3 each time.
Here, there are two alternating patterns, one addition and one subtraction. The first starts with 2 and increases by 2; the second starts with 44 and decreases by 3.
