Question from Odisha OCS Paper 2 2024
The correct answer is (A) 21.
Explanation:
Let’s solve this step by step:
1) First two numbers are 2 and 3
2) Let’s find each subsequent number:
3rd number: 2 + 3 = 5
4th number: 3 + 5 = 8
5th number: 5 + 8 = 13
6th number: 8 + 13 = 21
3) So the sequence is: 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21
4) The 6th number is 21
Therefore, the answer is (A) 21.
