Question

A person who looks at a sequence of 14, 12, 10, 8 and decides that the next two terms are 6 and 4 is doing deductive thinking.

A. True
B. False

Answer 1

it is true i am pretty sure

Answer 2

option A. true

Explanation:

The given numbers of the sequence are 14, 12, 10, 8 and a person has to decide next two numbers of this sequence.

The given sequence is an arithmetic sequence because there is a common difference of ( -2 ) in each successive term.

12 - 14 = ( -2 )

10 - 12 = ( -2 )

So next two terms of the sequence will show the same differences and the terms will be

x - 8 = ( -2 )

x = 8 - 2 = 6

Similarly next term will be y - 6 = ( -2 )

y = +6 - 2 = 4

So option A true is the answer.
