Question

Identify the correct sequence from the given options in which the next number can be obtained by adding $2$ to the previous number.

• A. $28,31,34,37,40,43$
• B. $28,30,32,34,36,38$
• C. $28,26,24,22,20,18$
• D. $30,32,35,37,39,41$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $28,30,32,34,36,38$

Detailed step-by-step solution:
If Option A is chosen, the numbers are in decreasing order, so adding $2$ to the previous number will not give us the next number.

If Option C is chosen, $30+2=32,32+2=34.$ As per the given pattern, we get only the first two numbers of the sequence by adding $2.$

If Option D is chosen, $28+2=30.$ For this sequence, the second number does not match the obtained number.

If Option B is chosen, $28+2=30,30+2=32,32+2=34,34+2=36,36+2=38.$ So, by adding $2$ to the previous number, we can get the next number for this sequence.

Therefore, $28,30,32,34,36,38$ is the correct sequence.

Hence, Option B is correct.
