6, 12, 15, 60, 65, ?
What number continues the pattern?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Correct Answer and Explanation is:<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sequence is: 6, 12, 15, 60, 65, ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To find the number that continues the pattern, let’s analyze the sequence step-by-step:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. First, observe the changes between consecutive numbers:<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • 6 to 12: The difference is +6<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • 12 to 15: The difference is +3<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • 15 to 60: The difference is +45<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • 60 to 65: The difference is +5<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      1. Check for a pattern in the differences:<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        • The differences between terms are: +6, +3, +45, +5<\/strong>. These differences themselves do not follow a simple arithmetic pattern (e.g., increasing or decreasing in a regular way). However, let\u2019s look at the pattern more carefully:<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • The numbers 6<\/strong>, 3<\/strong>, 45<\/strong>, and 5<\/strong> seem unrelated at first, but let’s observe that the larger jump from 15 to 60 involves multiplying (15 \u00d7 4 = 60).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • After this multiplication, the jump to 65 seems to suggest a small increase (adding 5).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
            \n
          1. Identify possible patterns:<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
              \n
            • From 6 to 12 is +6 (simple addition).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • From 12 to 15 is +3 (simple addition).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • From 15 to 60 is +45, which is a larger jump and could be considered as multiplying 15 by 4.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • From 60 to 65 is +5 (a small addition). The pattern suggests that after a large multiplication (like 15 \u00d7 4), the next step involves a smaller addition.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
                \n
              1. Prediction for the next number:<\/strong>
                Given the alternating pattern of large and small steps, we predict that the next step will be a larger addition. If we continue this idea, the next number should be 65 + 10 = 75<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                Thus, the next number in the sequence is 75<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Summary:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

                The sequence involves alternating between smaller additions and a larger jump, which might be linked to a multiplication at one step. After adding 5 (from 60 to 65), the next logical step is a larger addition, so the next number is 75<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
