Question

Write the next three numbers in the given pattern

05, 08, 11, ___, ___, ___

• A. 14, 17, 20
• B. 15, 18, 21
• C. 13, 16, 19
• D. 14, 18, 21

Answer 1

The correct option is A

14, 17, 20

Here , 8 – 5 = 3 ......... ( 5+ 3 = 8)

11 – 8 = 3 ........(8 + 3 =11)

Therefore, if 3 is added each time to the previous number we get the next number.

i.e. 11 + 3 = 14

14 + 3 = 17

17 + 3 = 20

Thus the numbers are 14, 17, 20
