Discussion
The run below is governed by one rule from beginning to end. Discover the pattern and state the value the question mark conceals.
2, 10, 20, 32, 46, ?
Answer: C
Correct answer: 62
The gaps are not equal: they run 8, 10, 12, 14, each 2 more than the last. The next gap must therefore be 16, and adding it to the final term, 46 plus 16 is 62. As a check, the gap between the answer and 46 is 16, which continues the run of gaps 8, 10, 12, 14 by a further 2. Where all four options are close together, the arithmetic rather than the rule is what is being tested.
