It should be 60 1 + 5(1) = 6 2 + 6(2) = 14 3 + 7(3) = 24 5 + 11(5) = 60 18 Likes |

60 If you want I can show working. The correct answer is 60 |

Assuming each expression is independent of the preceding expressions, the general rule is a + b = a * (b+1). Hence, 5 + 11 = 5 * (11+1) = 60. Conversely, if an expression depends on the one immediately preceding it, then the answer by @snowball11 is also correct. The general rule in this case is c(n) = a+b = c(n-1)+a+b, so c(4) = 5+11 = c(3)+5+11 = 24+5+11 = 40. (edit) It turns out there is another possible answer (see @Panda7's post below). The structure of each expression is c(n) = a(n+2) + b(n+2), where a(n+2) is the (n+2)th Fibonacci number, and b(n+2) is the (n+2)th arithmetic integer. The Fibonacci sequence is 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, .... [1], while the arithmetic integer sequence is 1, 3, 5, 6, 7, 11, 13, 14, 15, 17, 19, 20, 21, 22,... [2]. The general rule is c(n) = a(n+2) + b(n+2) = a(n+2) + n*b(n+2). Hence, c(4) = a(6)+b(6) = 5+4*11 = 49. This last approach, inspired by @Panda7's answer, perhaps overcomplicates the solution, but it explicitly shows how the terms of the expressions are constructed. It is more general and mathematically sound than the other two approaches already listed. In fact, one may construct subsequent expressions independent of preceding expressions, for example, the next expression is c(5) = 8 + 13.

If you like solve from now till tomorrow, if your answer is not 40, go back and have a talk with your mathematics teacher. 3 Likes 1 Share |

rillchritty:dis one no concern quadratic equation na just small reasoning |
Re: Only A Genius Can Answer This! by rillchritty(m): 9:24pm On Mar 01 |
Verbtips: Of course, the exercise is not intended to test mathematical prowess. However, ability to understand the different possible patterns in which valid answers could be constructed is a good 'small reasoning' skill. After all, innovative solutions to real-world problems are sometimes inspired by trivial questions like this one. 1 Like |
