Question

In the following series, find the next term.
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, adding it we get 1. So the third number is 2.

Again adding 2 and 1 we get 3. So, the fourth number is 3. In the same way, the series goes on.

So here the answer will be 21.
