Question. 5
The next number in the pattern –62, –37, –12, –– is
(a)
25
(b)
13
(c)
0
(d)
–13
Detailed Answer with Explanation:
Look at how the numbers change from one term to the next.
From −62 to −37:
(-62 + 25 = -37)
From −37 to −12:
(-37 + 25 = -12)
So the rule is: add 25 each time.
Next term after −12:
(-12 + 25 = 13)
Therefore, the next number is 13.
