Question

Find the next term of the arithmetic sequence:

39, 37, 35, 33, 31 …

• A. 28
• B. 26
• C. 29
• D. 25

Answer 1

The correct option is C 29

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, the next term = 31 - 2 = 29
