Answer 2

Answer:

The following number is: 16.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we separate the numbers that in order are in the even place of the odd ones, we would have the following: 1.- 1 2 3 4

                                                            2.- 1 4 9

If we finish in 1.- they increase by 1 in 1,

while in 2.- they increase in odd numbers, 1 + 3 = 4, 4 + 5 = 9, 9 + 7 = 16

The following number is: 16.
