Question

Identify the missing number in the pattern given below.

$29,34,39,44,?$

• A. $50$
• B. $47$
• C. $48$
• D. $49$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $49$

Pattern: $29,34,39,44,...$

Term 1: $29$

Term 2: $29+5=34$

Term 3: $34+5=39$

Term 4: $39+5=44$

Thus, each next term is obtained from the previous one by adding $5$ to it.

Thus, the fifth term is obtained by adding $5$ to the previous term, 44.

$\therefore$ Term 5: $44+5=49$
