Open in App
Solution
The correct option is B 10
We notice that 2 + 2 = 4, 4 + 2 = 6 and 6 + 2 = 8.
2 is added to each of the numbers in the pattern to get the next number.
Therefore, the number after 8 is got by adding 2 to it.
8 + 2 = 10
Thus, the next number in the pattern is 10.
These numbers are called even numbers.
