2. 2. What are the next two numbers in this series? 294...15...279...18...261...9...?...? Solution = 252...9 ; by Gali Munar
Solution: Add the three digits of the first number (2 + 9 + 4 = 15) and get the next number 15 Subtract 15 from the first number 294 to obtain the third number, 279. Add the three digits of 279 (2 + 7 + 9 = 18) & obtain the number 18. Subtract 18 from 279 to obtain 261. Add the three digits of 261 (2 + 6 + 1 = 9) and obtain the number 9. Follow these procedures to obtain the missing numbers 252 and 9.
