Question

In the sequence: I, II, VI, XII, XVI, …, what numeral should come next?

Answer 1

Answer: The answer is XVI, which is known as the number 16.

Step-by-step explanation: The Roman numerals are in a pattern. The pattern goes 2, 6, 2, 6. It is written like this: II, VI, II, VI. So, the pattern is written as I, II, VI, XII, XVI.

Answer 2

The numeral that should come next in the sequence is XXII

Explanation:

- The first numeral, "I," represents the number 1 in Roman numerals.

- The second numeral, "II," represents the number 2.

- The third numeral, "VI," represents the number 6.

- The fourth numeral, "XII," represents the number 12.

- The fifth numeral, "XVI," represents the number 16.

By comparing the numerals, we can see that each numeral is formed by adding a certain value to the previous numeral:

- The second numeral adds 1 to the first numeral (I + I = II).

- The third numeral adds 4 to the second numeral (II + IV = VI).

- The fourth numeral adds 6 to the third numeral (VI + VI = XII).

- The fifth numeral adds 4 to the fourth numeral (XII + IV = XVI).

Based on this pattern, the next numeral should add 6 to the fifth numeral:

XVI + VI = XXII
