Find the rule for pattern.
62, 59, 56, 53, 50
- Subtract 2
- Subtract 3
- Subtract 4
- Add 3
Hint:
Subtracting two or more numbers results in the total subtraction of those values combined.
The correct answer is: Subtract 3
Here, we have to find the rule for pattern.
First term = 62 - 3 = 59 .
Second term = 59 - 3 = 56 .
Third term = 56 - 3 = 53 .
Fourth term = 53 - 3 = 50 .
Therefore, each successive number is reduced by 3 .
Hence, the correct option is (a) .
The rule of the pattern follows that each successive number is 3 lesser than the proceeding value.
