Puzzle : Sequence of numbers

Sequence of numbers are 1, 11, 21, 1211, 111221. What will be the next one in the above sequence?

Answer

 It is a strange sequence. Each number describes the resemblance of the previous one, except the first one.


11 describes the previous '1' which contains one '1'


21 describes the previous '11' which contains two '1'


1211 describes the previous '21' which contains one '2' and one '1'


111221 describes the previous '1211' which contains one '1', one '2' and two '1'.


So the next sequence will be 312211, that is the previous '111221' contains three '1', two '2' and one '1'.

A) Sidu Bridge B) Millau Via-duct
C) Beipanjiang Bridge D) Puli Bridge
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Beipanjiang Bridge

Explanation:

Duge Beipanjiang Bridge in southwest China, opened to traffic this week and now the highest bridge in the world, some 565 metres (1,854 feet) above the valley below.The bridge stretches across a 1,341-metre (4,400-foot) span. Three years in the making, it's estimated to have cost the Chinese government around 1 billion yuan (or US$144 million).The bridge is going to cut travel times between Liupanshui in the Guizhou province and Xuanwei in the Yunnan province to two hours instead of the current five – as long as you don't mind the heights.The bridge crosses the the Nizhu river, and to give you some idea of the size of the drop down to the water below, it's almost 2 Eiffel Towers or one-and-a-half Empire State Buildings.
