Observe the pattern and complete the series.
2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, _____, _____, _____, _____.
Answer:
14, 16, 18, 20
- 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 - 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 - Therefore, the required numbers are 14, 16, 18, and 20.
