Q. Find the missing term: 2, 5, 9, ?, 20, 27
✅ Correct Answer: (A)
14
Explanation: Let's analyze the pattern in the given sequence: 2, 5, 9, ?, 20, 27
Finding the pattern:
2 → 5 (+3)
5 → 9 (+4)
9 → ? (+5)
? → 20 (+6)
20 → 27 (+7)
Following the pattern of adding consecutive integers (+3, +4, +5, +6, +7), we get:
9 + 5 = 14
Thus, the missing term is 14, and the correct answer is:
(A) 14
Finding the pattern:
2 → 5 (+3)
