Answer 1

✓ The Correct Question

Find the missing term for the following pattern :

0 , 2 , 8 , 14 , __ , 34

✓ Answer

Option C [ 24 ]

✓ Concept used

${1}^{2} - \: 1 = 0$

${2}^{2} - 2 = 2$

${3}^{2} - 1 = 8$

${4}^{2} - 2 = 14$

${5}^{2} - 1 = 24$

see the sequence follows the square of consecutive terms and then -1 follows by square and -2 ,

Hence the answer is 24

In order to check we must complete our guess of the last sequence ,

${6}^{2} - 2 = 34$

The sequence is perfect ✓

$\longrightarrow \: more \: info :$

These questions are asked on entrance examinations in the logical part portion where the candidates are asked to find the missing term or find out the wrong pattern !

The missing term may be in number format or in alphabetical list.

We must be cautious in solving these questions. For further ideas usually the pattern takes up the format of addition , subtraction , multiplication , division , factorial or by squares and cubes.

Example :

1 , 3 , 5 , 7 __ , 11 , 13

The above is an simple format of the number series , By looking at the pattern one can see that it gets increased by 2 !!

Hence here the answer is 9
