Question

103, 92, 81, 70,59,.....

The next term in the sequence is _____

• A. 49
• B. 47
• C. 48
• D. 45

Answer 1

The correct option is C

48

The given pattern is 103, 92, 81, 70,59.
Let us calculate the difference between the consecutive terms.
103 - 92 = 11
92 - 81 = 11
81 - 70 = 11

We observe that the difference between two consecutive terms is 11 and the value of the next term is 11 less than the previous term.
Therefore we can get the next term by subtracting 11 from the previous term.
59 - 11 = 48.

So, the next term in the sequence is 48.
