You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Your series is: 2,7,5,9,9,1,14,13,---,---
Pl check - is the 6th term 1 or 11?
I think there could be a typo and it is actually 11.
If so, the series is 2,7,5,9,9,11,14,13,...,... and it can be solved.
Solution:
Look at alternate terms - they form 2 separate series.
Series 1:
2,5,9,14... where the difference between successive terms keeps increasing by 1.
2 + 3 = 5
5 + 4 = 9
9 + 5 = 14
So the next term in this series is 14 + 6 = 20
Series 2:
And the other series is
7,9,13,... which is a simple arithmetic progression with difference as 2. So the next term in this series is 13 + 2 = 15.
So the next two terms are 20 and 15.
Hope this helps.
:)
