What is the next number in the series: 5, 15, 10, 13, 15, 11, ___?

The correct answer is: 20

To determine the next number in the series, it helps to look for a pattern in the sequence provided: 5, 15, 10, 13, 15, 11. If we break it down into two alternating sequences, we can observe the following: 1. The first sequence (1st, 3rd, 5th numbers): 5, 10, 15 2. The second sequence (2nd, 4th, 6th numbers): 15, 13, 11 In the first sequence, we can see that the numbers increase by 5 each time: - From 5 to 10, it increases by 5. - From 10 to 15, it again increases by 5. Following this pattern, the next number in this sequence would be: 15 + 5 = 20. Now, looking at the second sequence, the numbers decrease by 2 each time: - From 15 to 13, it decreases by 2. - From 13 to 11, it also decreases by 2. However, since we're seeking the next number in the overall pattern, we focus on the first sequence to find that it
