9.8, ?, 8.9, 11.6, 8, 12.5
This questions was previously asked in
IBPS PO Prelims 2020
Explanation:
- Let's understand the pattern of the series: 9.8, ?, 8.9, 11.6, 8, 12.5
- Look closely and observe:
- The sequence alternates between subtraction and addition.
- 9.8 and 11.6 have a difference of +2.8.
- 8.9 and 8 have a difference of -0.9.
- 8 and 12.5 have a difference of +4.5.
- Now identify the missing number:
- The pattern involves alternately adding and subtracting increasingly larger numbers.
- From 9.8, add +0.9 to get 10.7.
- Based on this logic, the correct replacement for the question mark is 10.7.
Option 1: 10.7
