What comes next in this sequence:2, 6, 11, 17,(A) 24(B) 25(C) 26(D) 27

$\huge\red{\underline{{\boxed{\textbf{ANSWER}}}}}$

let us write the adjacent numbers in the problem above as pairs separated by a coma:

2, 6 (difference is 4 add to 2 =6)

6, 11 ( difference is 5 add to 6 = 11)

11, 17 (difference is 6 add to 11 = 17)

17, 24 (difference is 7 add to 17 = 24) this is the most common given answer)

but 25, 26, or any other number greater than 17 will do.

For example after he last term 17 in the problem:

(a) 17 , 25 ( difference is is 8 add to 17 = 25)

(b) 17, 26 ( difference is 9 add to 17 = 26)

Answer:

The difference between 11 and 17 is 6. Following this ascending pattern, the difference between 17 and the next number should be 7, 17+7=24, therefore the next number in this sequence is 24. to get 11 it is 6+5 it is as follows.. You can e that the difference between 6 and 2 is four.
