Question

Which number will come next in the series: \[ 8, 4, 4, 6, 12, ? \]

• A. 28
• B. 30
• C. 32
• D. 36

Hint:

Look for alternating patterns in sequences, such as multiplying and dividing, and apply the correct operation at each step.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Identify the pattern.
The series alternates between division and multiplication: - \( 8 \div 2 = 4 \) - \( 4 \times 1 = 4 \) - \( 4 \times 1.5 = 6 \) - \( 6 \times 2 = 12 \) Following this pattern, we multiply 12 by 2.5: \[ 12 \times 2.5 = 30 \]

Final Answer: \[ \boxed{30} \]
