Answer 1

answer is 224.......the b) one

Answer 2

The next number after 5, 14, 33, 98 will be 222

Solution,

To convert 5 into 14, we multiply it by 3 and then deduct 1,

5 x 3 - 1

To convert 14 into 33, we multiply it by 3 and then deduct 9,

14 x 3 - 3

To convert 33 into 98, we multiply it by 3 and then deduct 1,

33 x 3 - 1

Thus by following the same pattern,

98 x 3 - 72 = 222

Hence, the next number in the following pattern will be 222.
