Question
The missing numbers in the number pattern is
- 18, 22
- 14, 19
- 13, 18
- 14, 19
Hint:
We are given a number sequence with two numbers missing. We have to find the rule used to write the pattern and complete the sequence. We will try to find the relation between the first and second term. Using the relation we will find the third and fourth term.
The correct answer is: 14, 19
The given sequence is 4, 9, … , … , 24
We will subtract first term from second term.
9 – 4 = 5
We will try to add it to second term to see if we get complete sequence.
9 + 5 = 14
14 + 5 = 19
19 + 5 = 24
We get the last term using this rule. Therefore, we got the third and fourth terms.
So, the third and fourth term will be '14, 19’.
For such questions, we should know the basic operations. When the rule used to write the pattern is not mentioned, we have to use all four operations to check the pattern. The operations are addition, subtraction, division, and multiplication.
