Observe the pattern and complete the series.
2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, _____, _____, _____, _____.


Answer:

14, 16, 18, 20

Step by Step Explanation:
  1. On observing the pattern, we find the common difference between the given numbers as follows.
    4 − 2 = 2
    6 − 4 = 2
    8 − 6 = 2
    10 − 8 = 2
    12 − 10 = 2
  2. Since, 2 is the common difference in all the numbers, we can add 2 in the last number to find the next number in the series.
    So, the numbers appearing next in the series are:
    12 + 2 = 14
    14 + 2 = 16
    16 + 2 = 18
    18 + 2 = 20
  3. Therefore, the required numbers are 14, 16, 18, and 20.
