*2, 10, 50, 250, ...

*3, - 2, - 7, - 12, ...

    When you substitute n=1,2,3, ... in the formula, we get

    f (2) = f (1) - 5

    f (3) = f (2) - 5

    f (4) = f (3) - 5

    and so on which shows that any term in the sequence is 5 less than its predecessor. So for the answer, you need to look for a sequence which is decreasing by 5.
