View Dynamic Solution & Explanation
Correct Solution: Option A

Step-by-step Solution:

Pattern Analysis

The pattern in this series is that each number is the square of a consecutive integer, starting from 1.

  • 1st Term: 1 * 1 = 1² = 1
  • 2nd Term: 2 * 2 = 2² = 4
  • 3rd Term: 3 * 3 = 3² = 9
  • 4th Term: 4 * 4 = 4² = 16

Calculating the Next Term

Following this pattern, the next term in the sequence will be the square of the next integer, which is 5.

5 * 5 = 5² = 25

Final Answer: The next value in the series is 25.
