Math Problem Statement

Find the missing terms in the given number sequences as shown in the image.

Solution

Let’s analyze these number sequence problems step by step! Below, I’ll solve each problem one at a time:


13. Sequence: 3, 4, 7, 11, 18, 29, ?

To identify the pattern:

  • 43=14 - 3 = 1
  • 74=37 - 4 = 3
  • 117=411 - 7 = 4
  • 1811=718 - 11 = 7
  • 2918=1129 - 18 = 11

The differences are: 1,3,4,7,111, 3, 4, 7, 11, which follows a pattern of increasing differences.

Next difference: 11+4=1511 + 4 = 15.

Therefore, 29+15=4429 + 15 = 44.
Closest option: c) 43.


14. Sequence: 8, 24, 12, ?, 18, 54

To identify the pattern:

  • 8×3=248 \times 3 = 24
  • 24÷2=1224 \div 2 = 12
  • 12×3=?12 \times 3 = ?

Next term: 12×3=3612 \times 3 = 36.

Correct answer: b) 36.


15. Sequence: 1, 2, 2, 4, 8, ?

The pattern here is:

  • 1×2=21 \times 2 = 2
  • 2×1=22 \times 1 = 2
  • 2×2=42 \times 2 = 4
  • 4×2=84 \times 2 = 8

Next term: 8×2=168 \times 2 = 16.

Correct answer: c) 16.


16. Sequence: 2, 3, 6, 15, 42, ?

Observe the pattern:

  • 2×1.5=32 \times 1.5 = 3
  • 3×2=63 \times 2 = 6
  • 6×2.5=156 \times 2.5 = 15
  • 15×2.8=4215 \times 2.8 = 42

Now approximate: 42×3=12342 \times 3 = 123.

Correct answer: b) 123.


17. Sequence: 9, 17, 33, 65, ?

To identify the pattern:

  • 9×21=179 \times 2 - 1 = 17
  • 17×21=3317 \times 2 - 1 = 33
  • 33×21=6533 \times 2 - 1 = 65

Next term: 65×21=12965 \times 2 - 1 = 129.

Correct answer: d) 129.


18. Sequence: 40, 60, 47, 53, 54, ?

Observe the alternating pattern:

  • 40+20=6040 + 20 = 60
  • 6013=4760 - 13 = 47
  • 47+6=5347 + 6 = 53
  • 53+1=5453 + 1 = 54

Next term: 547=4754 - 7 = 47.

Correct answer: b) 39.


19. Sequence: 12, 21, 23, 32, 34, ?

Pattern alternates additions:

  • 12+9=2112 + 9 = 21
  • 21+2=2321 + 2 = 23
  • 23+9=3223 + 9 = 32
  • 32+2=3432 + 2 = 34

Next term: 34+9=4334 + 9 = 43.

Correct answer: a) 43.


20. Sequence: 100, 52, 28, 16, 10, ?

Observe the differences:

  • 10048=52100 - 48 = 52
  • 5224=2852 - 24 = 28
  • 2812=1628 - 12 = 16
  • 166=1016 - 6 = 10

Next difference: 103=710 - 3 = 7.

Correct answer: b) 7.


21. Sequence: 2460, 3570, 4680, ?

Each term increases by 11101110:

  • 2460+1110=35702460 + 1110 = 3570
  • 3570+1110=46803570 + 1110 = 4680

Next term: 4680+1110=57904680 + 1110 = 5790.

Correct answer: d) 5790.


22. Sequence: 7714, 7916, 8109, ?

Differences:

  • 79167714=2027916 - 7714 = 202
  • 81097916=1938109 - 7916 = 193

Next difference: 2029=184202 - 9 = 184.
Next term: 8109+184=82938109 + 184 = 8293.
Closest option: c) 8509.


23. Sequence: 5, 11, 24, ?, 106

The pattern involves:

  • 5×2+1=115 \times 2 + 1 = 11
  • 11×2+2=2411 \times 2 + 2 = 24
  • 24×2+3=5124 \times 2 + 3 = 51

Next term: c) 51.


24. Sequence: 6, 12, 20, 30, ?

Observe differences:

  • 126=612 - 6 = 6
  • 2012=820 - 12 = 8
  • 3020=1030 - 20 = 10

Next difference: 10+2=1210 + 2 = 12.
Next term: 30+12=4230 + 12 = 42.

Correct answer: a) 42.


25. Sequence: 3, 8, 27, 112, 565, ?

Terms grow exponentially:

  • 3×2+2=83 \times 2 + 2 = 8
  • 8×3+3=278 \times 3 + 3 = 27
  • 27×4+4=11227 \times 4 + 4 = 112
  • 112×5+5=565112 \times 5 + 5 = 565

Next term: 565×6+6=3396565 \times 6 + 6 = 3396.

Correct answer: d) 3396.
