If the third number is 13 and each number is 4 more than the previous then the second number will be 13 - 4 = 9 and the first number will be 9 - 4 = 5.

The arithmetic sequence thus formed is 5, 9, 13 .... with first term a = 5 and common difference d = 4

\(114^{th}\) number = a + 113d = 5 + 113(4) = 457

Answer D

If each number of a sequence is 4 more than the previous number, and the 3rd number in the sequence is 13

This is an Arithmetic Series with
Third term, \(T_{3}\) = 13
Common difference, d = 4

Using, \(T_n\) = a + (n-1)*d
\(T_3\) = a + (3-1)*4 = a + 2*4 = a + 8 = 13
=> a = 13 - 8 = 5

What is the 114th number in the sequence?
\(T_{114}\) = 5 + (114-1)*4 = 5 + 113*4 = 5 + 452 = 457

So, Answer will be D
Hope it helps!
