Find the missing term in the sequence: 16, 24, __, 54

by

(A) 33
(B) 36
(C) 46
(D) 53

🧠 Explanation:

  • Given sequence: 16, 24, __, 54
  • Step 1: Find the difference between 24 and 16 → 24 - 16 = 8
  • Assume same pattern continues: next difference is 12 → 24 + 12 = 36
  • Then, 54 - 36 = 18 → Pattern of increasing differences: 8, 12, 18 (each step increasing by 4 or 6)
