Question

Choose the correct alternative that will continue the same pattern and fill in the blank spaces. 2, 7, 14, 23, —–, 47

• A. 34
• B. 31
• C. 38
• D. 27
• E. None of these

Hint:

Check the difference between the terms in the sequence. The differences themselves follow a simple arithmetic progression.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The numbers form a pattern where the difference between consecutive terms is increasing by 1.
- 7 - 2 = 5
- 14 - 7 = 7
- 23 - 14 = 9
Hence, the next difference should be 11.
- 23 + 11 = 34
