Question

Mary used an addition rule to make this number pattern.

The number pattern among the following that uses Mary’s rule is

  1. 1, 5, 9, 13, 17    
  2. 2, 7, 12, 16, 20    
  3. 3, 8, 13, 18, 23    
  4. 6, 12, 18, 24, 30    

hintHint:

In the question, we are required to identify the rule that Mary used while making the given number pattern and then we have to identify which number pattern from the given options uses that rule.

The correct answer is: 3, 8, 13, 18, 23


    Step by step solution:
    Mary's number pattern: 6, 11, 16, 21, 26
    11 = 6 + 5
    16 = 11 + 5
    21 = 16 + 5
    26 = 21 + 5
    Thus, the rule that Mary used to make the number pattern is add 5.
    Now, let us analyze the options and check which option follows Mary's rule
    Option (a) : 1, 1 + 5 = 6not equal to5, hence option (a) is eliminated.
    Option(b) : 2, 2 + 5 = 7, 7 + 5 = 12, 12 + 5 = 17not equal to16, hence option (b) is eliminated.
    Option(c) : 3, 3 + 5 = 8, 8 + 5 = 13, 13 + 5 =18, 18 + 5 = 23, option(c) is the required option.
    option(d) : 6, 6 + 5 = 11not equal to12, hence option (d) is eliminated.
    Hence, option(c) is the correct option.
