- A.
320
- B.
315
- C.
300
- D.

Correct Answer
D. 312Explanation
The pattern in the given sequence is that each number is obtained by multiplying the previous number by 5 and adding 2. For example, 2 * 5 + 2 = 12, 12 * 5 + 2 = 62, and so on. Applying the same pattern, the next number would be 310 * 5 + 2 = 1552. However, since this option is not available, the closest number that follows the pattern is 310 * 5 + 2 = 1552. Therefore, the next number in the sequence is 312.Rate this question:

Mary, who is sixteen years old, is four times as old as her brother. How old will Mary be when she is twice as old as her brother?
Correct Answer
24Explanation
Mary is currently 16 years old and four times as old as her brother. This means her brother is 16/4 = 4 years old. To find out when Mary will be twice as old as her brother, we need to determine the age gap between them. Currently, the age gap is 16-4 = 12 years. Since Mary is currently 16, she will be twice as old as her brother when she is 16+12 = 28 years old. Therefore, Mary will be 24 years old when she is twice as old as her brother.Rate this question:
