Find the next term: 4, 3, 8, 6, 16, 12, ...
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. 32
- Step 1: Split the series by position: 4, 8, 16 in the odd places and 3, 6, 12 in the even places.
- Step 2: The seventh term continues 4, 8, 16, so it is 32.
Answer
32.
Why not the others: 24 would be the eighth term, and the other rules do not match the earlier terms.
