Asvab Q. Thx! :)

Answer 1

The answer is a because the pattern is +10, -3, and 16-3=13.

Answer 2

Answer: A. 13

Step-by-step explanation: In the first step, the first number of the series increases by 9.

The result is then decreased by 3.

The third number in the series was also increased by 9 to give 16.

The pattern formed is +9, - 3

The required number in the series is 13. 16 - 3 = 13
