Discussion
1, 4, 6, 9, 11, 14, 16 ________ next to 16 is
Answer: A
The next number is 19.
The differences between consecutive terms alternate between +3 and +2:
1 to 4 is +3, 4 to 6 is +2, 6 to 9 is +3, 9 to 11 is +2, 11 to 14 is +3 and 14 to 16 is +2.
The step after +2 is +3, so 16 + 3 = 19. Taking 16 + 2 = 18 repeats the last step instead of alternating, and 17 or 16 do not follow the pattern at all.
