Question 11. What sequence/pattern is followed?
1, 2, 4, 8, 16 ...
  1.    Arithmetic sequence
  2.    Color pattern
  3.    Geometric sequence
  4.    Language pattern
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Geometric sequence
:
C
The sequence follows: 1, 2, 4, 8, ...
Each term is multiplied with 2 to get the succeeding term.
1 × 2 = 2
2 × 2 = 4
4 × 2 = 8
8 × 2 = 16
It is a geometric sequence.
Question 12. Find the 10th term of the sequence: 2, 8, 14, 20…
  1.    50
  2.    54
  3.    56
  4.    52
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 56
:
C
The given sequence is 2, 8, 14, 20…
Let us calculate the difference between two consecutive terms:
8 - 2 = 6
14 - 8 = 6
20 - 14 = 6
We observe that the difference between two consecutive terms is 6 and each term is 6 more than the term preceding it.
So,the 10th term of the sequence = 2 + (10 - 1)×6 = 2 + 9×6 = 2 + 54 = 56
Hence, the10th term of the sequence is 56.
Question 13. Find the next term of this pattern: ACT, BDT, CET, DFT
  1.    EAT
  2.    EFT
  3.    EGT
  4.    EHT
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> EGT
:
C
The given pattern is ACT,BDT,CET,DFT…..
We can split thesequence into three:
The sequence of the first alphabets: A, B, C, D, ...
The next term in the above sequence is E.
The sequence of the second alphabets: C, D, E, F, ..
The next term in the above sequence is G.
The sequence of the third alphabets: T, T, T, T, ..
The third letter in all the terms is T. So, the next term in the above sequence is T.
On combining the terms from the three sequences, the next term of the pattern is EGT.
So, the pattern is ACT, BDT, CET, DFT, EGT.
Question 14. If ABCD = ZYXW, then CAB =______?
  1.     XZY
  2.     XYZ
  3.    YXZ
  4.     ZXY
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. ->  XZY
:
A
In the given pattern A = Z ; B = Y ; C = X ; D = W
CAB = XZY
Question 15. Find the next number in the sequence: 6, 11, 16, 21
  1.    30
  2.    25
  3.    26
  4.    31
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 26
:
C
The sequence follows: 6, 11, 16, 21
Starting from the left
6 = ( 5 × 1 ) + 1
11 = ( 5 × 2 ) + 1
16 = ( 5 × 3 ) + 1
21 = ( 5 × 4 ) + 1
Each term is one more than the the corresponding multiple of 5.
So, the next term will be
( 5 × 5 ) + 1 = 26
Question 16. What kind of a number pattern is this: 9, 12, 15, 18…
  1.    Odd number pattern
  2.    Even number pattern
  3.    Prime number pattern
  4.    Composite number pattern
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Composite number pattern
:
D
The given sequence is 9,12,15,18….
Now,
3×3=9
3×4=12
3×5=15
3×6=18
We observe that each term in the sequence is a multiple of 3.
The above sequence has both odd and even numbers so it is neither an odd number pattern nor an even number pattern.
Also, none of the terms is a prime number, so it is not a prime number sequence.
Hence, the given sequence of numbers is a composite number pattern.
Question 17. Find the next two figures in the given pattern:
Find The Next Two Figures In The Given Pattern:
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Composite number pattern
:
A
In the above pattern, a horizontal rectangle(purple in colour) is followed by a vertical rectangle(purple in colour), followed by a vertical rectangle(yellow in colour).
So, the next two figures in the above pattern will bea horizontal rectangle(purple in colour)followed by a vertical rectangle(purple in colour).
Question 18. It is very rare to find patterns in our surroundings. 
  1.    True
  2.    False
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False
:
B
Patterns are there all around us and is a very important form in nature.
Question 19. Find the next term of the geometric sequence:
3, 15, 75, 375…
  1.    1575
  2.    1825
  3.    1525
  4.    1875
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 1875
:
D
The given sequence is 3, 15, 75, 375…
Let us divide each term in the above sequence by the term preceding it:
15÷3=5
75÷15=5
375÷75=5
We observe that each term in the sequece is 5 times the term preceding it.
So, the next term in the geometric sequence = 375×5=1875
Question 20. State True or False:
10, 100, 1000, 10000, 100000 …is  a geometric sequence.
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    YXZ
  4.     ZXY
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
The given sequence is 10, 100, 1000, 10000, 100000 …
Here in the above sequence, we observe that each term is 10 times the previous term.
So the sequence is a geometric sequence.
