Find the pair of numbers that would fit into the pattern:
32 3, 32 4, 32 12, 32 48, 32 240, ? ?
- A32 1200
- B32 1440
- C32 1320
- D64 1440
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Each term consists of a constant prefix followed by a number. Let's analyze the sequence of the trailing numbers:
* (or multiplication shift)
Let's see the precise multiplication factor pattern between consecutive steps:
*
Alternative multiplication series pattern:
* does not match cleanly. Let's re-verify:
*
*
*
*
Notice the factors are sequential: (from an implied base or simple step calculation), .
Let's trace:
* (here it is or approx base variant)
* ()
* ()
* ()
Following this logic, the next multiplication factor must be :
Thus, the next entry in the pattern is 32 1440.
