Pattern Recognition - 104

Find out the next two numbers in the series.
12,44, 140, 428, _,_,.........


Answer
 
Tn+1 = (Tn *3) +8

44=(12 * 3) +8
140=(44* 3)  +8
428=(140*3)+8

Next two numbers  (428 *3) + 8 = 1284 + 8 =1292
                           (1292*3) + 8 = 3876 +8  =3884

12,44, 140, 428, 1292, 3884,.........

For each and every number in the series , the second half is the reverse form of first half.
8 ---> 8
16--->61
32--->23

First half of the numbers in the series 8 ,     16,    32 ,    64 , _ ,_, ...................
                                                            *2      *2       *2
Next two numbers 128, 256

Answer

134, 1410 , 146 , 142 , 158 , 154 , _,_ ,..........

1 ---> (10-1)    = 9
2 ---> (10-2)    = 8
3 ---> (10-3)    = 7
4 ---> (10-4)    = 6
5 ---> (10-5)    = 5
6 ---> (10-6)    = 4
7 ---> (10-7)    = 3
8 ---> (10-8)    = 2
9 ---> (10-9)    = 1
10 ---> (10-10) =0


134,    1410 ,  146 ,   142 ,   158 ,     154 , _,_ ,..........
136 ,   140 ,    144 ,    148 ,    152 ,    156 , _,_ ,.......................
       +4       +4        +4        +4       +4


Next two numbers 160 ----> 1610
                           164 ----> 166


134, 1410 , 146 , 142 , 158 , 154, 1610 ,166,.......................
