Answer: Option B
Solution
Answer: Option B
Solution:
Let the missing terms of the series be x1 and x2.Thus, the sequence 2, 15, 4, 12, 6, 7, x1, x2 is a combination of two series:
I. 2, 4, 6, x1 and
II. 15, 12, 7, x2
I consists of consecutive even numbers. So, missing term, x1= 8
The pattern in II is - 3, - 5, ........So, missing term x2 = 7 - 7 = 0
