Directions to Solve
Look carefully for the pattern, and then choose which pair of numbers comes next.
17.
4 8 22 12 16 22 20 24
Answer: Option
Explanation:
This is an alternating repetition series, with a random number, 22, interpolated as every third number into an otherwise simple addition series. In the addition series, 4 is added to each number to arrive at the next number.

4 8 22 12 16 22 20 24.
Solution is correct: i.e 22,28 they are asking the next pair so 22 is one of them for sure.
Now:
Solution is work like this:---
4, 8, 22, (8+4 = 12), (12+4= 16), 22, (16+4 = 20), (20+4= 24), 22, (24+4= 28).
I hope it helps.
Thank you!

4+8=12.
8+8=16.
22,
12+8=20.
16+8=24.
22,
20+8=28.
So 22, 28 is right.
8+8=16.
22,
12+8=20.
16+8=24.
22,
20+8=28.
So 22, 28 is right.

Increasing multiple and differ 4.
2 8
3 12
4 16
5 20
6 24
7 28
8 32
So 28 and 32.
2 8
3 12
4 16
5 20
6 24
7 28
8 32
So 28 and 32.

I think the answer is A.
There many assumptions in solving this sum.
But the first thing that stroke me was interpolating 22 and adding 8.
4+8=12.
8+8=16.
12+8=20.
16+8=24.
20+8=28.
And so the answer probably could be 22 28.

@John Ajay- I agree! There is adequate reason for both A and C - both indeed are correct for the simple reason of adding 8. Poor test/answer system if you ask me!

I didn't got the answer because 22 28 here difference is of 6 not of 4.

22, interpolated as every third number
4*2=8
4*3=12
4*4=16
4*5=20
4*6=24
4*7=28
4*2=8
4*3=12
4*4=16
4*5=20
4*6=24
4*7=28

I think the answer must be E because the differance is 4 in between each digits and 22 is interpolated.
