half the no., and just add 0.5 to it......

so answer is 40.5...


"If you want to achieve something, the whole Universe conspires in your favour."
----The Alchemist

"He who joyfully marches to music rank and file, has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so base an action. It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder."

"Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts."

"I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones."

"If A is a success in life, then A equals x plus y plus z. Work is x; y is play; and z is keeping your mouth shut."

---Albert Einstein

take doublets of numbers
( 2 , 1.5 ) . (15 , 8 )
2 = 1.5 X 2 - 1
15 = 8 X 2 - 1
also third number is 10 times the previous number

so the other 2 numbers are 40.5 and 405

i guess d ans is 40.5


next no.= (previous no.)/2 + 0.5


so, 2nd term = 2/1 +.5 =1.5


4th term= 15/2 +.5=8
