Explanation
1. First Sub-series (Positions 1, 4, 7):
The terms are 4,10,16.
2. Second Sub-series (Positions 2, 5, 8):
The terms are 7,…,19.
Let the missing term be x.
-
If we follow a similar logic of adding a constant: 7+6=13 and 13+6=19.
-
Logic: Add 6 to the previous term. Thus, x=13.
3. Third Sub-series (Positions 3, 6):
The terms are 25,20.
Conclusion:
By analyzing the second sub-series, we find that the missing number is 13.
Correct Option: (a) 13
