Which of the following numbers will replace the question mark (?) in the given series?
\([\frac{5}{9}] ,[\frac{14}{9}], [\frac{23}{9}], [\frac{32}{9}], [\frac{41}{9}], ?\)
\([\frac{50}{9}]\)
The given series is: [\frac{5}{9}] ,[\frac{14}{9}], [\frac{23}{9}], [\frac{32}{9}], [\frac{41}{9}], ?
To find the pattern, observe the differences between consecutive terms:
First term: [\frac{5}{9}]
Second term: [\frac{14}{9}]
The difference between the second term and the first term is: \frac{14}{9} - \frac{5}{9} = \frac{9}{9} = 1
Similarly, for the other differences:
Third term: [\frac{23}{9}]
Difference between the third term and the second term: \frac{23}{9} - \frac{14}{9} = \frac{9}{9} = 1
Fourth term: [\frac{32}{9}]
Difference between the fourth term and the third term: \frac{32}{9} - \frac{23}{9} = \frac{9}{9} = 1
Fifth term: [\frac{41}{9}]
Difference between the fifth term and the fourth term: \frac{41}{9} - \frac{32}{9} = \frac{9}{9} = 1
Therefore, each term in the series increases by 1 after dividing by 9. Given this consistent pattern, the missing term should be:
Sixth term: difference based on previous terms gives [\frac{41}{9}] + 1 = \frac{50}{9}
Thus, the number that will replace the question mark is [\frac{50}{9}].
The ratio of the ages of A and B, four years ago, was 4 : 5. Eight years from now, the ratio of the ages of A and B will be 11 : 13. What is the sum of their present ages?
The ratio of the present ages of A and B is 8 : 9. After 9 years, this ratio will become 19 : 21. C is 3 years younger to B. What is the present (in years) of C?
The ratio of the ages of A and B 8 years ago was 2 : 3. Four years ago, the ratio of their ages was 5 : 7. What will be the ratio of their ages 8 years from now?
The ratio of the present age of father to that of his son is 7 : 2. If after 10 years the ratio of their ages will become 9 : 4, then the present age of the father is:
The ages of two persons P and Q are in the ratio 5 : 7. Eight years ago, the ratio of P and Q was 7 : 13. The present ages of P and Q, respectively, are:
