A series is given with one term missing. Choose the correct alternative from the given ones that will complete the series.
0.5, 2, 3.5, ?, 6.5
- A5
- B4.5
- C4
- D6
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let's find the common difference between consecutive terms:
2−0.5=1.5
3.5−2=1.5
The series progresses by adding a constant value of 1.5 to each subsequent term.
Missing term=3.5+1.5=5.0=5
Verifying with the last term:
5+1.5=6.5
The pattern is confirmed.
2−0.5=1.5
3.5−2=1.5
The series progresses by adding a constant value of 1.5 to each subsequent term.
Missing term=3.5+1.5=5.0=5
Verifying with the last term:
5+1.5=6.5
The pattern is confirmed.
