Pattern Recognition - 107

Find out the next two numbers in the series.
4, 6 , 10,  14,  22,  26 , 38, 46 ,_ ,_ ,......................

Answer

Tn = (2 * m) where m - nth prime number
Prime number series
2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43,..........

Oops, There was a mistake. 34 (17 * 2)was missed out in the original series(Question).

T1= 2 * 2 =4
T2 =2 * 3 =6
T3= 2 * 5 =10

T10 =2 *29 =58
T11=2 *31  = 62

Pattern Recognition - 106

Find out the next two numbers in the series.
3, 9 , 33 ,129, 513, _ , _ ,...................

Answer

Tn = (2 ^ m)+ 1 where m - nth odd number (1,3 , 5 ,7,...........)
T1 = (2 ^ 1) +1 = 3
T2 = (2 ^ 3) +1 = 9
T3 = (2 ^ 5) +1 = 33
T4 = (2 ^ 7) +1 = 129
T5 = (2 ^ 9) +1 = 513
T6 = (2 ^ 11) +1 = 2049
T7 = (2 ^ 13) +1 = 8193

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,.........

Answer

88, 1661, 3223 , 6446 , _ , _, .............................

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
Next two numbers in the series  128821 , 256652
