Answer:
The number of blocks in the nth figure will be (3n + 1).
Step-by-step explanation:

The number of blocks in the first arrangement is (3 + 1)
Now, the number of blocks in the second arrangement is (3 × 2 + 1)
Again, the number of blocks in the third arrangement is (3 × 3 + 1)
So, the pattern says that the number of blocks in the nth arrangement will be (3 × n + 1) = (3n + 1) (Answer)
