Asked in Premeth Test 31 — Industrial ChemistryModerate

Directions: In the following question, a number sequence is given with one term missing. Choose the correct term that will continue the same pattern and replace the question mark in the given sequence.6,8,10,14,18,26,34,50,66,?

Correct answer: A. 98

  • A. 98
  • B. 82
  • C. 90
  • D. 100

Explanation

The given sequence is: 6, 8, 10, 14, 18, 26, 34, 50, 66, ?First, determine the differences between consecutive terms:8 - 6 = 210 - 8 = 214 - 10 = 418 - 14 = 426 - 18 = 834 - 26 = 850 - 34 = 1666 - 50 = 16The pattern of differences is: 2, 2, 4, 4, 8, 8, 16, 16. These differences repeat twice and double each time:2, 24, 48, 816, 16The next differences should be 32, 32. Thus, the next number is 66 + 32 = 98. The other options do not correctly follow this established pattern.
