Question 13

Find the missing term
3, 5, 9, 17, ?

Solution

here the given pattern is 3, 5, 9, 17, ?

let the missing term be y

we can see that

5 - 3 = 2^1

9 -5 = 4 = 2^2

17 - 9 = 8 = 2^3

as we can see that every time the difference between consecutive terms is getting increased by power of 2

and hence , y - 17 = 2^4 = 16

y = 33
