Solution

Let's solve each sequence one by one to identify the pattern and determine the correct next number:

  1. Sequence: 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, ___

    • This is an arithmetic sequence with a common difference of 6.
    • Next term: 30+6=3630 + 6 = 36
    • Answer: 36
  2. Sequence: 2, 7, 14, 23, 34, ___

    • The pattern is increasing by consecutive odd numbers: +5,+7,+9,+11,+13+5, +7, +9, +11, +13
    • Next term: 34+13=4734 + 13 = 47
    • Answer: 47
  3. Sequence: 5, 6, 10, 19, 35, ___

    • The pattern involves adding consecutive terms and increasing increments: +1,+4,+9,+16+1, +4, +9, +16
    • Next term: 35+18=5335 + 18 = 53 (increment by 18, continuing the pattern of squares: 12,22,32,42,521^2, 2^2, 3^2, 4^2, 5^2)
    • Answer: 53
  4. Sequence: 1, 5, 12, 22, 35, ___

    • The pattern is the sum of increasing differences: +4,+7,+10,+13+4, +7, +10, +13
    • Next term: 35+16=5135 + 16 = 51 (increasing by +3+3 each time)
    • Answer: 51
  5. Sequence: 6, 9, 15, 24, 36, ___

    • The pattern involves adding consecutive terms and an increasing number: +3,+6,+9,+12,+15+3, +6, +9, +12, +15
    • Next term: 36+15=5136 + 15 = 51
    • Answer: 51
