A sequence, a1=64, a2=66, a3=67, an=8+an-3, which of the following is in the sequence?
105
786
966
1025
Thats a good question but AC (answer choice) E is missing.
a1 = 64
a2 = 66
a3 = 67
an = 8 + a(n-3)
a3 = 8 + a0
a0 = 67-8 = 59
a4 = a1 + 8 = 64 + 8 = 72
a5 = a2 + 8 = 66 + 8 = 74
a6 = a3 + 8 = 67 + 8 = 75
A. (105 - 64)/8 = k where k must be an integer but k is not.
(105 - 66)/8 = m where m must be an integer but m is not.
(105 - 67)/8 = n where n must be an integer but n is not.
So A is not
B. (786 - 64)/8 = x where x must be an integer but x is not.
(786 - 66)/8 = 720/8 = 90 = y where y must be an integer and y is an integer. Bingo....
(786 - 67)/8 = z where z must be an integer but z is not.
B is.
C. (966 - 64)/8 = p where p must be an integer but p is not.
(966 - 66)/8 = q where q must be an integer but q is not.
(966 - 67)/8 = r where r must be an integer but r is not.
C is not.
D. (1025 - 64)/8 = a where a must be an integer but a is not.
(1025 - 66)/8 = b where b must be an integer but b is not.
(1025 - 67)/8 = c where c must be an integer but c is not.
D is not.
Therefore it is B.
