Question

Tiara loves skipping. One evening, her friends noticed a pattern of her skipping. Tiara takes a break after skipping for some time. They started counting: first break after she skipped 98 times, next break after she skipped 87 times, next break after skipping for 76 times. Can you guess when she will 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 preceding number.

That is, 98 - 11 = 87, 87 - 11 = 76.

So, the next number will be 76 -11 = 65.

So, she will next take a break after skipping 65 times.
