The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
Observe the series carefully:
- 7 = 5 + 2
- 9 = 2 + 7
- 16 = 7 + 9
- 25 = 9 + 16
The pattern shows each term from the third onwards is the sum of the previous two terms (similar to Fibonacci series). Therefore, the next term is:
\[ 16 + 25 = 41. \]
- 7 = 5 + 2
- 9 = 2 + 7
- 16 = 7 + 9
- 25 = 9 + 16
The pattern shows each term from the third onwards is the sum of the previous two terms (similar to Fibonacci series). Therefore, the next term is:
\[ 16 + 25 = 41. \]
