Question

What comes next: 3, 12, 7, 16, 11, 20, 15, ?

• A. 16
• B. 24
• C. 14
• D. 18

Answer 1

Answer:

B. 24

Look at the pattern by separating odd and even positions:

Sequence:
3, 12, 7, 16, 11, 20, 15, ?

Odd positions: 3, 7, 11, 15 → each +4

Even positions: 12, 16, 20, ? → each +4

So the next term = 20 + 4 = 24
