Solution

The correct options are
A 3n+1
C 3n-2
On careful observation, you can see that each term in the pattern is one more than multiples of three.
Since the multiples of 3 can be represented by 3n, the pattern can be represented by 3n+1 (where n is 0, 1, 2...)
But each term can also be thought of two less than multiples of 3.
So, the pattern can also be represented by 3n-2 (where n is 1, 2, 3....)
Hence, A and C are correct options.
