Question

Find the next term in the following series:
$0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,$ __

• A. 21
• B. 34
• C. 25
• D. 30

Answer 1

The correct option is A

21

The Fibonacci sequence is the series of numbers:

0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34...

In this series, the next number is found by adding up the two numbers before it. For example, if first two numbers are 0 and 1, we add the first and second number, so the third number is 2. Again, adding 2 and 1 we get 3. So, the fourth number is 3. Like this, the series goes on.

So here, the answer will be 21.
