Question

Observe the growing pattern shown below and find the number of boxes and dots in the seventh block.

• A. 7 boxes and 14 dots
• B. 7 boxes and 7 dots
• C. 4 boxes and 8 dots
• D. 7 boxes and 10 dots

Answer 1

The correct option is A 7 boxes and 14 dots

$\text{Detailed step-by-step solution:}$
As we can see in this pattern, the number of boxes and dots are increasing as we move from left to right.
The first block has 1 box and 2 dots, the second one has 2 boxes and 4 dots, and the third one has 3 boxes and 6 dots.

As the number of boxes and dots are increasing, the pattern will grow as shown below.


Therefore, we can say that the seventh block will have 7 boxes and 14 dots.

Hence, Option D is the correct answer.
