Answer:
The sixth number in series is 13.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given series : 3, -6, 12, 4, 20, ?
The pattern followed by the series is:
The first number = 3
Second number = 3 - 9 = - 6
Third number = - 6 + (9 ×2) = -6 + 18 = 12
Fourth number = 12 - 8 = 4
Fifth number = 4 + (8 ×2) = 20
Sixth number = 20 - 7 = 13
Seventh number = 13 + (7 ×2) = 13 + 14 = 27 and so on.
So as per the above pattern, the sixth number in the series is 13.
