The pattern is + 2, + 6, + 6, + 10, + 10,.....So, missing term = 14 + 10 = 24.
- 5. 2,2,5, 13,28,?
Options- A. 49
- B. 50
- C. 51
- D. 52 Discuss

- C. 13, 14
- D. 13, 16 Discuss
Correct Answer: 10, 10
Explanation:
Let the missing terms of the series be x1 and x2.Thus, the sequence 20, 20, 19, 16, 17, 13, 14, 11, xv x2 is a combination of two series :
I. 20, 19, 17, 14, x1 and II. 20, 16, 13, 11, x2
The pattern in I is - 1, - 2, - 3,......So, missing term, x1 = 14 - 4 = 10.
The pattern in II is - 4, - 3, - 2,......So, missing term, x2 = 11 - 1 = 10.
- 8. 24, 60, 120, 210,?
