Question

Next three consecutive numbers in the pattern are

11, 8, 5, 2...

• A. $0,–3,–6$
• B. $–1,–5,–8$
• C. $–2,–5,–8$
• D. $–1,–4,–7$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $–1,–4,–7$

Option (d) is correct; any two numbers have the common difference of 3,
$\begin{array}{c}11-3=8,8-3=5,\dots \\ \text{Similarly,}(2-3)=-1,(-1-3)=-4,(-4-3)=-7\end{array}$
Hence, three consecutive terms will be -1, -4, and -7.
