Question and options

Find out the missing number from the choices given.

9, 12, 11, 14, 13, __________
  1. 12
  2. 16
  3. 10
  4. 17

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: B - 16
The pattern alternates +3 and −1: 9 (+3) 12 (−1) 11 (+3) 14 (−1) 13. The next step is +3, so the missing number is 13 + 3 = 16; 12 would follow only if the −1 step came next.
