Question and options
In the following series, replace the question mark (?) with the suitable number
2, 3.5, 5, 6.5, 8, ?
2, 3.5, 5, 6.5, 8, ?
- 9.0
- 9.5
- 10.5
- 11.0
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B - 9.5
Each term is 1.5 more than the one before: 2, 3.5, 5, 6.5, 8, so the next term is 8 + 1.5 = 9.5. 9.0 adds only 1, and 10.5 and 11.0 add 2.5 and 3.
