Answer:

71

Step-by-step explanation:

add previous number and add increment of 1

eg 7 + 5 = 12 add 2 so 14

Answer 2

The required "option a) 71" is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given sequence are:

5, 7, 14, 24, 42, ____, 119

To find, the missing number (?) =

The pattern follow:

The sum of previous two numbers + 2, The sum of previous two numbers + 3, The sum of previous two numbers + 4, The sum of previous two numbers + 5, The sum of previous two numbers + 6, .......

14 = (5 + 7) + 2 = 12 + 2 = 14

24 = (7 + 14) + 3 = 21 + 3 = 24

42 = (14 + 24) + 4 = 38 + 4 = 42

? = (24 + 42) + 5 = 66 + 5 = 71

119 = (42 + 71) + 6 = 113 + 6 = 119

∴ The missing number (?) = 71

Thus, the required "option a) 71" is correct.
