Correct Answer :

Option B

(13, 52)

10, 24

Solution :

The correct option is (13, 52).

To find the missing number pair, let us analyze the pattern in the given sequence of pairs:

(4,16),(7,28),(10,40),?,(16,64)

Let each pair be represented as (x,y).

Pattern for the first number (x):
The first number in each pair increases by 3 at each step:

4+3=7

7+3=10

10+3=13

13+3=16

So, the first number of the missing pair is 13.

Pattern for the second number (y):
The second number in each pair is 4 times the first number (y=4×x):

4×4=16

7×4=28

10×4=40

13×4=52

16×4=64

Alternatively, the second number increases by 12 at each step (16+12=28, 28+12=40, 40+12=52, 52+12=64).

Therefore, the missing number pair is (13, 52).
