    Question



    What number comes next in the following sequence?
    3, 3.5, 4.5, 6, ?

    A.

    8.5

    B.

    7

    C.

    8

    D.

    7.5

    Correct option is C


    Step 1: Find the differences between consecutive terms:
    1. 3 to 3.5 → Difference = +0.5
    2. 3.5 to 4.5 → Difference = +1.0
    3. 4.5 to 6 → Difference = +1.5
    Step 2: Identify the pattern of differences:
    The differences are increasing by 0.5 at each step:
    · +0.5 → +1.0 → +1.5 → +2.0 (next step).
    Step 3: Add the next difference to the last term:
    · Last term = 6
    · Next difference = +2.0
    6 + 2.0 = 8
