Look at this series: 3, 4, 7, 8, 11, 12, . . .
What number should come next ?
Answer: Option 'C'
This alternating addition series begins with 3;
then 1 is added to give 4;
then 3 is added to give 7;
then 1 is added, and so on.
Rule = (first number + 1) (second number + 3) (third number + 1) (fourth number + 3)...
Now The series is 3, 4, 7, 8, 11, 12...
(3 + 1 = 4), (4 + 3 = 7), (7 + 1 = 8), (8 + 3 = 11), (11 + 1 = 12) (12 + 3 = 15)...
So the answer is d = 15.

3 13 18 23 28 33
What number should come next?
Answer: Option 'A'
In this simple addition series, each number is 5 greater than the previous number.
Rule = (1st no) (1st no + 5 = 2nd no) (2nd no + 5 = 3rd no) . . .
Now (3) (3 + 5 = 8) (8 + 5 = 13) (13 + 5 = 18) (18 + 5 = 23) (23 + 5 = 28) (28 + 5 = 33) (33 + 5 = 38) (38 + 5 = 43)
So the answer is c = 38 43
