Question

Tiara loves skipping. One evening, her friends noticed a pattern in her skipping. Tiara always takes a break after skipping for some time.
They started counting: first break after Tiara skipped 98 times, next break after she skipped 87 times, and another break after skipping 76 times. When will she take her next break?

• A. After skipping 75 times
• B. After skipping 55 times
• C. After skipping 65 times
• D. After skipping 45 times

Answer 1

The correct option is C

After skipping 65 times

Observing the given pattern, we find that each number in the pattern is 11 less than the number before.
That is,
98 − 11 = 87
87 − 11 = 76

So, the next number will be 11 less than 76.
That is,
76 − 11 = 65

Thus, Tiara will take her next break after skipping 65 times.
