A. 17
B. 18
C. 19
D. 20

The correct answer is option [E] 3 - 1 = 2; 6 - 3 = 3; 10 - 6 = 4; 15 - 10 = 5; The differences between two consecutive numbers are 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, ... So, 21 - 15 = 6. Alternatively, 1 + 2 = 3; 1 + 2 + 3 = 6; 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 = 10; 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 = 15; 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 = 21; The nth term in the sequence is given by n (n + 1)/2. The numbers are often referred to as triangular numbers.
