In the finite sequence of positive integers \(K_1\), \(K_2\), \(K_3\), ..., \(K_9\), each term after the second is the sum of the two terms immediately preceding it. If \(K_5 = 18\), what is the value of \(K_9\) ?


(1) \(K_4 = 11\)

(2) \(K_6 = 29\)

K1 K2 K3 K4 K5 K6 K7 K8 K9

K5 = K4 + K3 = 18
K9 = K7 + K8 = ?


Statement 1: K4 = 11
Using K4 and K5 we can find K6, then K7 and so on.

This statement is sufficient.

Statement 2: K6 = 29
Using K5 and K6 we can find K7, then K8 and so on.

This statement is sufficient.

Answer is D

Ans D.
k 5 = 18 --> k4 + k3 = k5

1) K 4 = 11
K4 +K3 = K5--> k3 = 18 -11
SUFF

2) K 6 = 29
K 6 = K5 + K 4
29 = 18 + K 4
K 4 = 11

SUFF

Ans D.

(1) \(K_4 = 11\)

(2) \(K_6 = 29\)


k5=18
k9=?
(1) k4=11

k5=k4+k3
18=11+k3
k3=7

Therefore sufficient

(2) k6=29
k6=k5+k4
29=18+k4
k4=11

Therefore sufficient.

These statements are sufficient because we can use to previous two values to find the values of the next term and carry on with the process to find the value of k9.
