Which number should come after this series? 3-5-8-13-21-?

Question

34

Answer 1

The given series is 3 - 5 - 8 - 13 - 21. Let’s explore the pattern:

1. Each term in the series is the sum of the two preceding terms:

   • (5 = 3 + 2)
   • (8 = 5 + 3)
   • (13 = 8 + 5)
   • (21 = 13 + 8)

2. This sequence follows the Fibonacci pattern, where each number is the sum of the two preceding ones.

3. To find the next term, we add the last two terms:

   • (21 + 13 = 34)

Therefore, the next number in the series is 3412.
