In the following question, select the missing number from the given series.
19, 25, 32, 38, 45, 51, ?
- A58
- B59
- C62
- D64
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let us inspect the differences between consecutive terms in the series:
25−19=6
32−25=7
38−32=6
45−38=7
51−45=6
The series alternates by adding +6 and +7. Following this pattern, the next increment must be +7:
Missing number=51+7=58
25−19=6
32−25=7
38−32=6
45−38=7
51−45=6
The series alternates by adding +6 and +7. Following this pattern, the next increment must be +7:
Missing number=51+7=58
