Let’s go through each question one by one.
---
Question 1:
Sequence: 5, 8, 11, 14, ...
Check the difference between terms:
8 - 5 = 3
11 - 8 = 3
14 - 11 = 3
So, each term is made by adding 3 to the previous term.
✔ Correct answer:
A — adding 3 to make a new term
---
Question 2:
Sequence: 5, 13, 21, 29, __
Check the differences:
13 - 5 = 8
21 - 13 = 8
29 - 21 = 8
So, we add 8 each time. Next term: 29 + 8 =
37
✔ Correct answer:
B — 37
---
Question 3:
Sequence: 38, 34, 30, 26, ...
Check the differences:
34 - 38 = -4
30 - 34 = -4
26 - 30 = -4
So, we subtract 4 each time.
✔ Correct answer:
B — subtracting 4 to get the next term
---
Question 4:
Arrow sequence: → ↓ ← ↑ → ?
Look at the pattern of directions:
Right → Down → Left → Up → Right → ?
This looks like a cycle: Right, Down, Left, Up — then it repeats.
After “Right” comes “Down”.
So the next arrow should be
Down.
Looking at options:
A = Right
B = Up
C = Down
✔
D = Left
✔ Correct answer:
C — Down arrow
---
Question 5:
Sequence: 3, 6, 12, 24, ...
Check how we get from one term to the next:
6 ÷ 3 = 2
12 ÷ 6 = 2
24 ÷ 12 = 2
So, each term is made by multiplying by 2.
(Though the options are cut off, based on standard patterns, this is clearly multiplication by 2.)
✔ Expected correct answer:
multiplying by 2 to make a new term
---
Final Answers:
1. A
2. B
3. B
4. C
5. multiplying by 2 to make a new term
