CAAT Logical Sequences and Pattern Recognition 1 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: What comes next in the sequence: 2, 4, 8, 16, ___?
- 20
- 24
- 32 (Correct answer)
- 64
Correct answer: 32
Each term is doubled, so 16 × 2 = 32.
Question 2: Which number completes the pattern: 5, 10, 20, 40, ___?
- 50
- 60
- 70
- 80 (Correct answer)
Correct answer: 80
Each term is multiplied by 2, so 40 × 2 = 80.
Question 3: Find the next term: 1, 4, 9, 16, ___
- 20
- 25 (Correct answer)
- 30
- 36
Correct answer: 25
These are perfect squares (1², 2², 3², 4²), so the next is 5² = 25.
Question 4: What is the missing number: 3, 6, 9, ___, 15?
- 10
- 11
- 12 (Correct answer)
- 13
Correct answer: 12
The sequence increases by 3 each time, so 9 + 3 = 12.
Question 5: Which letter comes next: A, C, E, G, ___?
- H
- I (Correct answer)
- J
- K
Correct answer: I
The pattern skips every other letter (A, B skipped, C, D skipped…), so after G comes I.
Question 6: Complete the sequence: 100, 90, 81, 73, ___?
- 65
- 66 (Correct answer)
- 70
- 72
Correct answer: 66
The differences decrease by 1 each time (−10, −9, −8, −7), so 73 − 7 = 66.
