Answer to Q45

7, 15, 31, ?

I knowingly added this question because it's equivocal. I saw the question somewhere and solved it only for the publisher to tell I was wrong. Solved it another way and got a different answer (correct according to the publisher). I included the two answers in the options!

First Answer
Difference between 15 and 7 = 8
Difference between 31 and 15 = 16
So, the series is n + (8 x y). Where y > 1 and n = previous number and y = position of previous number

So, answer = 31 + (8 x 3) = 31 + 24 = 55

Second Answer
15 = (7 x 2) + 1
31 = (15 x 2) + 1

So, answer = (31 x 2) + 1 = 63

Answer: both 55 and 63 are correct
