Rajita has unique way of attempting the question paper having 50 questions. She starts from question 1 and attempts all questions which are in A.P. with a common difference of 3 in the forward direction and 3 in reverse direction. If she reaches a stage when she cannot attempt any more question, she starts in the reverse direction with the first unanswered question. She repeats the same process and when she reaches a stage when she can not process any further, she reverses her direction again starting with the first unanswered question.

Which is the 20th question Rajita answers?

Solution

First round answers (17 questions):
1,4,7,10,13,16,19,22,25,28,31,34,37,40,43,46,49 → 17 numbers

The 18th, 19th, 20th answers come from the second round (reverse):

2nd round sequence:
50 (18th),
47 (19th),
44 (20th)

So the 20th answer = 44
