Question

Look at the pattern and fill in the blank.
16, 23, 30, 37,….

Answer 1

Hint: The problem is simply based on number series. This series follows some patterns. Once we found or decoded the pattern the answer would be very easy to find. Now for this series above we can see that the next term is obtained by adding 7 to the previous term. This is followed upto the last term of the series. There we go! Our last term would be the term we get on adding 7 to 37 that is the previous term.

Complete step by step solution:
Given that the series is 16, 23, 30, 37,….
First term is 16.
Now when 7 is added to 16 we get 23 that is next term. \[16 + 7 = 23\]
Now when 7 is added to 23 we get 30. \[23 + 7 = 30\]
Again next will be \[30 + 7 = 37\]
Noe for the blank space we will add 7 to 37. \[37 + 7 = 44\]
Thus 44 is the last term at that blank.
So, the correct answer is “44”.

Note: Note that these questions are totally based on logic. Sometimes the logic is clearly visible and sometimes it is hidden like it can be obtained in the second step method. But note that we should check for a particular pattern for the full series because sometimes it may change from second or last terms. So don’t just check for the initial terms only. Also try for all the possible logical combinations. Because sometimes there can be a common logic for two different problems.
