Complete the pattern
240, 290, 340, 390,
440
The given pattern is 240, 290, 340, 390, ___.
Let us calculate the difference between two consecutive terms.
290 - 240 = 50
340 - 290 = 50
390 - 340 = 50
We observe that the difference between the consecutive terms is 50. So, 50 is added to the previous term to get the new term.
390 + 50 = 440
∴ The required pattern is 240, 290, 340, 390, 440.
