Solution

Assume the missing terms of the series to be x₁ and x₂.
The sequence 2, 15, 4, 12, 6, 7, x₁ x₂ is a combination of 2 series:
2, 4, 6, x₁
15, 12, 7, x₂
In sequence I, consecutive even numbers exist.
The missing term, x₁ = 8.
The sequence II, the pattern is – 3, – 5,……
The missing term, x₂ = 7 – 7 = 0.
