Question

Observe the given number pattern and write the next 2 numbers in the sequence.
$4,8,12,16,$ ___, ____

• A. $20,28$
• B. $20,24$
• C. $20,25$
• D. $24,20$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $20,24$

Let’s decode and check how we get to the answer.

• We can write the given pattern as,

4 ✕ 1 = 4
4 ✕ 2 = 8
4 ✕ 3 = 12
4 ✕ 4 = 16

• Looking at the patterns, the next two numbers will be

4 ✕ 5 = 20
4 ✕ 6 = 24

• Therefore, the next two numbers in the sequence will be 20 and 24.
• Hence, option B is correct.
