The given sequence is based on the following pattern :
First term = 2
Second term = First term + 4 = 2 + 4 = 6
Third term = Second term + 6 = 6 + 6 = 12
Fourth term = Third term + 8 = 12 + 8 = 20
Fifth term = Fourth term + 10 = 20 + 10 = 30
Sixth term = Fifth term + 12= 30 + 12 = 42
........... and so on.Correct Option: D
The given sequence is based on the following pattern :
First term = 2
Second term = First term + 4 = 2 + 4 = 6
Third term = Second term + 6 = 6 + 6 = 12
Fourth term = Third term + 8 = 12 + 8 = 20
Fifth term = Fourth term + 10 = 20 + 10 = 30
Sixth term = Fifth term + 12= 30 + 12 = 42
Seventh term = Sixth term + 14= 42 + 14 = 56
Eight term = Seventh term + 16= 56 + 16 = ?
∴ ? = 72
∴ Required number = 72

In the given sequence, (starting from the third number) the succeeding number is sum of two just preceding numbers. i.e.,
1 = 0 + 1
2 = 1 + 1
3 = 1 + 2
5 = 2 + 3
13 = 5 + 8Correct Option: A

As we know that ,
Required sum = 2 n(n + 1) + 50 2
Here , n = 49
Correct Option: B
As we know that ,
Required sum = 2 n(n + 1) + 50 2
Here , n = 49Required sum = 2 × 49 × 50 + 50 = ( 49 × 50 ) + 50 = 2500 2
