Clearly, alternatively we add and subtract 10% of a term to obtain the next term of the series.
Thus, 10000 + (10% of 10000)= 11000;
11000 - (10% of 11000) = 9900;
 9900 + (10% of 9900)  = 10890;
10890 - (10% of 10890) = 9801.
 9801 + (10% of 9801)  = 9801+980 = 10781.
So, missing term = 10890- (10% of 10890)= 9801.

 2) 8, 6, 4, 2, 0

Therefore, The next number in the given series is 0.

The given series follows a pattern that,

19 x 19 x 19 = 6859

18 x 18 x 18 = 5832

17 x 17 x 17 = 4913

16 x 16 x 16 = 4096

15 x 15 x 15 = 3375

So, the missing number in the given series = 4913
