Question 4

Next three consecutive numbers in the pattern 11, 8, 5, 2, ___, ___, ___ are

(a) 0, – 3, – 6 (b) – 1, – 5, – 8
(c) – 2, – 5, – 8 (d) – 1, – 4, – 7

Answer 1

By observing the series, the difference between two consecutive numbers is 3,
i.e., 11 - 8 = 3
8 - 5 = 3
5 - 2 = 3
So, next number will be
2 - 3 = -1
Similarly, next two numbers are
-1 - 3 = -4
-4 - 3 = -7
