Question

Answer

The pattern is
4*2+1=9
9*2+1=19
19*2+1=39
39*2+1=79
79*2+1=159

Answer

159

Answer

Well lets solve this step by.. Firstly we hve to understand the pattern being used in this series.. Here when we multiply a number by 2 nd then add 1 in it we'll get the other number... So lets try this pattern:- 4*2+1=9 9*2+1=19 19*2+1=39 39*2+1=79 79*2+1=159 Hence, the next number is 159..

Answer

**Pattern Analysis:**

To find the pattern in the given series, we need to carefully observe the differences between consecutive terms.

4, 9, 19, 39, 79,...

The difference between the first and second terms is 9 - 4 = 5.
The difference between the second and third terms is 19 - 9 = 10.
The difference between the third and fourth terms is 39 - 19 = 20.
The difference between the fourth and fifth terms is 79 - 39 = 40.

By observing the differences, we can see that each term is obtained by adding a multiple of 10 to the previous term.

**Pattern Explanation:**

Starting from the first term (4), we add 5 to it to get the second term (9). Then we add 10 to the second term to get the third term (19). We continue this pattern of adding multiples of 10 to each term to obtain the next term in the series.

**Calculating the Next Term:**

To find the next term in the series, we need to add 10 to the last term (79).

79 + 10 = 89

Therefore, the next term in the series should be 89.

**Determining the Correct Answer:**

Now let's compare the calculated next term (89) with the given answer choices:

a) 169 - This does not match the calculated next term.
b) 159 - This matches the calculated next term.
c) 119 - This does not match the calculated next term.
d) 139 - This does not match the calculated next term.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 'B' (159).

Answer

159

Answer

Answer

It follows 4 *2+1 so 79 *2 +1= 158+1=159

Answer

4×2+1=9.
9×2+1=19.
19×2+1=39.
39×2+1=79.
79×2+1=159 answer

Answer

159
