Solution

Step 1: Find out certain logic in the given sequence

Given sequence 865:532::976: has a certain logic. Let us find out

The first Term is = 865

The Second Term is = 532

The third Term is = 976

We get to know that the second term 532 is formed when 3is subtracted from each digit of the first number 865

Like 8-3=5, 6-3=3,5-2=3

Now the third term is formed by adding 4 to every digit of the second term that is 532.

5+4=9;3+4=7;2+4=6So the number formed is 976

Step-3: Find the fourth term in the sequence

As the sequence continues we must again subtract 3from every digit of the third term.

Therefore, the fourth term is

9-3=6,7-3=4,6-4=2

Hence, the next term is 742
