Question

Find the next term in the arithmetic sequence:
39, 37, 35, 33, 31,…

• A. 28
• B. 26
• C. 29
• D. 25

Answer 1

The correct option is C 29

The sequence follows:
39, 37, 35, 33, 31,...

Let us calculate the difference between consecutive terms in the above sequence.
39 - 37 = 2
37 - 35 = 2
35 - 33 = 2
33 - 31 = 2

We observe that the difference between two consecutive terms is 2, and each term is 2 less than the previous term.

So,
Next term = 31 - 2 = 29
