Let's break down the two problems shown in the image:

### Problem 1:
"Enter A, B, C, D or E (when the correct answer is not in the choices)"

The sequences given are:

- **A. 3, 6, 12, 24, ...**
- **B. 3, 6, 12, 24**
- **C. 5, -5, -15, -25,...**
- **D. 5, 10, 15, 20,...**

This appears to be a question about sequences or progressions:

- **A** seems to follow a geometric sequence (multiply by 2): \(3 \times 2 = 6, 6 \times 2 = 12, 12 \times 2 = 24...\).
- **B** is the same as A, but stops at 24, so it's incomplete.
- **C** follows an arithmetic progression with a common difference of -10: \(5 - 10 = -5, -5 - 10 = -15...\).
- **D** follows an arithmetic progression with a common difference of 5: \(5 + 5 = 10, 10 + 5 = 15...\).

### Problem 2:
"Enter A, B, C, D or E (when the correct answer is not in the choices)"

The sequences given are:

- **A. 2x, 4x, 6x, 8x**
- **B. 2x, 0, -2x, -4x, ...**
- **C. \(x^2, x^4, x^6, x^8,...\)**
- **D. \(x, x + 2, x + 4, x + 6\)**

These sequences involve algebraic expressions:

- **A** is an arithmetic sequence with a common difference of \(2x\).
- **B** is also an arithmetic sequence, but it alternates between positive and negative terms with a common difference of \(-2x\).
- **C** is a geometric progression where the power of \(x\) increases by 2 each time.
- **D** is a linear sequence where each term increases by 2.

Let me know if you'd like further clarification or if you have any questions!

---
Do you want further details? Here are 5 follow-up questions:
1. What is the formula for the nth term in an arithmetic sequence?
2. Can you identify the common ratio in a geometric sequence?
3. How would you calculate the sum of an arithmetic progression?
4. What is the general term for a geometric sequence?
5. How can you identify whether a sequence is arithmetic or geometric?

**Tip:** In arithmetic sequences, the difference between consecutive terms remains constant.

Enter A, B, C D or E (when the correct answer is not in the choices): A. 3, 6, 12, 24,..., B. 3, 6, 12, 24, C. 5, -5, -15, -25, D. 5, 10, 15, 20, ...; Another sequence-related problem: A. 2x, 4x, 6x, 8x, B. 2x, 0, -2x, -4x, C. x^2, x^4, x^6, x^8,... D. x, x + 2, x + 4, x + 6.
