  1. What number completes the pattern: 5, 10, 20, 40, 80, ?

    Answer: 160

    Each term is multiplied by 2, so 80 × 2 = 160.

  2. Identify the next term: 1, 2, 6, 24, 120, ?

    Answer: 720

    Each term is multiplied by successive integers (×1, ×2, ×3, ×4, ×5, ×6), so 120 × 6 = 720.

  3. Which number is missing: 3, 9, 27, 81, ?

    Answer: 243

    Each term is multiplied by 3, so 81 × 3 = 243.

  4. What comes next: 50, 48, 44, 38, 30, ?

    Answer: 20

    Differences are 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 — so 30 − 10 = 20.

  5. Find the missing number: 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, ?

    Answer: 34

    Each term is the sum of the two preceding terms (Fibonacci): 13 + 21 = 34.

  6. What is next: 4, 7, 12, 19, 28, ?

    Answer: 39

    Differences are 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 — increasing odd numbers, so 28 + 11 = 39.

  7. Complete the sequence: 1000, 500, 250, 125, ?

    Answer: 62.5

    Each term is halved: 125 ÷ 2 = 62.5.
