Ops: A. 032 B. O 28 C 038 D. 040 ​

Answer 1

Answer:

16, 19, 24, 31, ?, 51

c)40

Answer 2

The missing term in the following series is D. 40.

• The given series is 16, 19, 24, 31, ?, 51
• Here we can see the pattern 19- 16 = 3

          24-19=5

          31-24=7

• Here we can see the pattern is an increasing odd number by 2 if we will subtract a number by its preceding number

          let the missing term be x

          Then, x - 31 = 7+2

                x = 31+9 = 40.
