Question

Find the next term of the following sequence:
$6$, $13$, $20$, $27$,

• A. $33$
• B. $34$
• C. $35$
• D. $36$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $34$

Given sequence: $6$, $13$, $20$, $27$, ______

By observing the pattern in the above sequence, we get
$6+7=13$,
$13+7=20$,
$20+7=27$,
$27+7=\underset{–}{34}$

$\therefore$ We can summarize the pattern as
$\text{Next term}=\text{Previous term}+7$

Hence,
$5^{\text{th}}\text{term}$
$=4^{\text{th}}\text{term}+7$
$=27+7$
$=34$​​​
