Question

Melissa is playing a card game with her friends. Help her find the next card, if the cards are numbered with the given pattern.

• A. A176
• B. A200
• C. A174
• D. A180

Answer 1

The correct option is B A200

The given sequence is A125, A150, A175.

Each term contains A as the first letter.

Hence, the last term should also contain A as the first letter.

The numbers in the sequence are 125, 150, 175.

Let us find the difference between the terms.

Difference between the 1st and the 2nd terms = 150 - 125 = 25

Difference between the 2nd and the 3rd terms = 175 - 150 = 25

Therefore, to find the next term, we have to add 25 to the numeric part of the term.

Hence, the next numeric part in the last term is 175 + 25 = 200, and the term is A200.

Hence, the next term in the pattern is A200.
