Given series formed in definite pattern and next number follows the predecessor. 

1)

Find the next term of the series 2,6,10,3,9,13,4,12......


A) 16

B) 15

C) 18

D) 17

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

First term multiplies by 3 to get second term(6)and if 4 add to second term to get third term ie 10.
Fourth term is 3 which is 2+1.
Then 3 multipled by 3 to get fifth term 9, add 4 to 9 to get sixth term ie 13 .
The next number of series is 4 (ie 3+1),12(4x3) .So, next number should be add 4 to its predecessor ie, 12+4=16.
