• A. 300
• B. 200
• C. 330
• D. 103

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

200

Answer 2

Given sequence: 5, 9, 16, 29, 54, ___,
To find the next numbers in the sequence, let's look at the pattern:
- Starting with 5, we notice the following:
- $5 \times 2 - 1 = 9$
- $9 \times 2 - 2 = 16$
- $16 \times 2 - 3 = 29$
- $29 \times 2 - 4 = 54$
Following this pattern, we continue:
- $54 \times 2 - 5 = 103$
So, the next number in the sequence is 103.
Continuing with the same pattern for the next number:
- $103 \times 2 - 6 = 200$
Thus, the sequence continues as: 5, 9, 16, 29, 54, 103, 200.
So the correct answer is:
Option B: 200
