Hello,
To find the missing term in the series 30, 31, 34, 39, 46, let's analyze the pattern:
The difference between 31 and 30 is
31
−
30
=
1
31−30=1
The difference between 34 and 31 is
34
3
34−31=3
The difference between 39 and 34 is
39
5
39−34=5
The difference between 46 and 39 is
46
7
46−39=7
The differences are 1, 3, 5, 7, which are consecutive odd numbers. Continuing this pattern, the next difference should be 9.
Thus, the next term is
+
9
55
46+9=55.
So, the missing term is 55.
Hope this helps you,
Thank you
