What is the next in the sequence 2 6 3 8 6 12

The correct answer is: 11

Explanation:

There are two series in the given sequence:

Series-1:

2 3 6 x

Where x represents the number we need to find.

Series-2:

6 8 12

The following pattern is seen in the Series-2:

6 + 2 = 8

8 + 4 = 12

Meaning the additive has the incremental increase of 2 [Like 2, 4, 6, 8 ... ].

Likewise,

In Series-1, the following pattern is shown [1,3,5,7 ... ]:

2 + 1 = 3

3 + 3 = 6

6 + 5 = 11

Hence the correct answer is 11.

11

As you can see, the pattern is subsequently + 4, - 3, + 5, - 2, + 6, - 1 etc.

So, according to this, next sequence should be 12-1=11
