Question

What will come next in the sequence of numbers given below?

15, 29, 43, 57, 71, __

• A. 85
• B. 87
• C. 89
• D. 83

Answer 1

The correct option is A 85

Let's observe the pattern and find the pattern rule:
15 + 14 = 29
29 + 14 = 43
43 + 14 = 57
57 + 14 = 71

We observe that to get get the next number, we need to add 14 to the previous number.

71 + 14 = 85
Therefore, the next term in the sequence is 85.
