Question

Difficulty: MediumNumber and Alphabet Series

Complete the given number series by determining the missing term that logically fits the sequence.

Answer:In the numerical series 6,13,27,48,76,1116, 13, 27, 48, 76, 【111】, the value of the missing term is 【111】.

Answer

The missing term in the series is 111.
The differences between successive terms form an increasing sequence of multiples of 7: +7,+14,+21,+28,+7, +14, +21, +28, \dots The next difference must be +35+35. Adding 3535 to 7676 yields 111111.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Calculate the first-order differences between consecutive terms in the series.
136=713 - 6 = 7, 2713=1427 - 13 = 14, 4827=2148 - 27 = 21, 7648=2876 - 48 = 28
To identify the underlying pattern governing the progression of the sequence.
2
Analyze the sequence of differences.
The differences are 7,14,21,287, 14, 21, 28, which form an arithmetic progression with a common difference of 77 (multiples of 77).
To determine the next required addition to the sequence.
3
Determine the next difference and compute the missing term.
The next difference is 28+7=3528 + 7 = 35. Adding this to the last term gives 76+35=11176 + 35 = 111.
Applying the identified pattern yields the correct missing term.
