Given that a sequence is repeated with same six terms 2, 4, 4, 3, 7, 5, 2, 4, 4, 3, 7, 5 and we need to find the value of Term 49 and Term 50
Quantity A : Term 49
Term 1 = Term 7 = Term 13
=> If we take remainder of the term number by 6 then the remainder term number and original term number will be same
Ex. Remainder of 7 by 6 is 1 => Term 7 = Term 1
( Watch this video to learn about the Basics of Remainders )
=> Remainder of 49 by 6 is 1 => Term 49 = Term 1 = 2
Quantity B : Term 50
Similarly, Remainder of 50 by 6 is 2 => Term 50 = Term 2 = 4
Clearly, Quantity B(4) > Quantity A(2)
So, Answer will be B
Hope it helps!
