Pattern Recognition - 117

If      1  = 2
        2  = 10
        3  = 30
        4  = 68
        5  =  ?


(Taken from internet)

Answer

Tn = (n*n *n) +n
T1 = (1*1 *1) +1 = 2
T2 = (2* 2 *2) +2 =10
T3 = (3* 3* 3) +3 =30
T4 = (4* 4 *4) +4 =68
T5 = (5* 5* 5) +5 =130

5= 130

Find out the next two numbers in the series.
253 , 351 , 152 , 250 , 51,_ , _ ,.................

Answer

Tn-1 = Reverse form(Tn)  - 1
351 = Reverse(253) -1
152 = Reverse(351) -1
250 = Reverse(152) -1
51  = Reverse(250) -1

Next two numbers  
Reverse(51) -1 =14 
Reverse(14) -1 =40

253 , 351 , 152 , 250 , 51, 14 , 40,.................
