Solution
38.8 - 36 = 2.8
42.8 - 38.8 = 4
y - 42.8 =
54.4 - y =
62 - 54.4 = 7.6
Here we can sense that the difference between consecutive numbers is increasing by 1.2 so,
y - 42.8 = 5.2
y = 48
lets check this value in
54.4 - 48 = 6.6
5.2 + 1.2 = 6.6 (hence our theory got proved)
Correct answer is B
38.8 - 36 = 2.8
42.8 - 38.8 = 4
y - 42.8 =
54.4 - y =
62 - 54.4 = 7.6
Here we can sense that the difference between consecutive numbers is increasing by 1.2 so,
y - 42.8 = 5.2
y = 48
