Answer:
A =First term of the pattern = 11
To find the first five terms we have to use the rule which is
Add 10 to first term and then subtract 5 from it.Which is equivalent to
= A +10 -5
1. Second Term = 11 + 10 -5
= 21 - 5
=16
→Third term = 16 +10-5
= 26 - 5
= 21
→Fourth term : 21 + 10 - 5
= 31 -5
= 26
→Fifth term : 26 +10 -5
= 36- 5
= 31
→Sixth term:
=31 + 10- 5
= 41 -5
= 36
So, the first five term apart from 11 is 16, 21,26,31,36 which is an Airthmetic progression.
There can be more then 1 mode.
Sometimes, there is not even a mode.....and other times, there is 1 mode.
The answer is 4. Obviously, 5 would work if you just slice across the prism, and there's no way you can have a prism with a 2-sided base.It must be then less than 5, either 3 or 4. 5 sides is not also possible upon drawing. I can get a rectangular prism to have a 5-sided cross section if you cut near one corner of the base and then exit along the opposite edge.
