Question

Find the missing numbers in the series: 0, 2, 5, ? , 17 , 28 , ?

• A. 11, 31
• B. 31, 51
• C. 10, 41
• D. 21, 40
• E.

Hint:

Look for patterns in the differences between numbers. Once you recognize the pattern, you can predict the missing numbers.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

To determine the missing numbers in the series, we analyze the differences between consecutive terms: \[ 2 - 0 = 2, \quad 5 - 2 = 3, \quad 17 - 5 = 12, \quad 28 - 17 = 11. \] Observing the pattern, the differences alternate in a specific manner. Based on this, we can find the missing terms. Step 1: Identifying the missing number between 5 and 17: - The difference pattern suggests that after 3, the next difference should be 5. \[ 5 + 5 = 10. \] Step 2: Identifying the missing number after 17: - The next difference follows the sequence, and it should be 24. \[ 17 + 24 = 41. \] Thus, the missing numbers in the sequence are 10 and 41.
