6!
to get the next number you use...
-14
-12
-10
-8
then -6
^^ wouldn't that make 12?
The fourth element is 12. The question as for the third element which is 6. See explanation.
? = 12 or 9
8=56
7=42
6=30
5=20
4=12
3=6
I am afraid you will end up breaking your runway trying to explain this simple equation to some lower class dropouts...Let them do what they know better; that's hawking handkerchief and boiled eggs!
ION: They cant see the 4th "element" is carefully jumped in order to confuse their hawking minds further...NKT.
If you had interviewed for international welding jobs like the one I am currently holding then you will know such questions forms part of what is called the aptitude test. But if you got the tea-girl/boy job by the rear door then I understand your predicament!
Comeon stop your linear kind of thinking welder
8*7=56
7*6=42
6*5=30
5*4=20
ofcourse 4*5 =20 as above
3*3=
9
Another way to look at it
56-42 = 14
42-30 = 12
30-20 = 10
so 3 = 20-8 =
12
@murchr, what about this
8*7=56
7*6=42
6*5=30
5*3=
15
Multiplying the upper left number with the lower one then moving to the next?
The ans is 6 radio, from my first example 5*4=20, continue the series 4*3=12 then 3*2=6 this one was easy, let me post another
