What is the next term in the sequence below?

1, 3, 5, 8, 11, 15, 19, 24, ...

a. 30 b. 27 c. 29 d. 25

The logic in the sequence is - - > + 2, + 2, + 3, + 3, + 4, + 4, + 5, + 5, + 6, + 6 and so on ...

So, the next number in the sequence would be 24+5 = 29

So, the answer is - - > c. 29

The series is : 1, 3, 5, 8, 11, 15, 19,

We can see the sequence as

1 = 1

3 = 1 + 2

5 = 3 + 2

8 = 5 + 3

11 = 8 + 3

15 = 11 + 4

19 = 15 + 4

so the next should be 19 + 5 = 24

and after that next should be 24 + 5 = 29

So the answer is 29. i. e. C
