24 is 4 times as many as 6
6*4=24
4096 ways : 8 candy toppings plus 4 fruit toppings is 12. Then 2^12 (2 different types of toppings and the 12 of total toppings) = 4096
We are given this

write it as the difference of cubes

use the formula for the difference of cubes

Now use the formula for the difference of squares as 

This is a geometric progression problem. We can the general formula that can tell us how many flowers would be planted each month.
Let's write the terms that we know and see if we can find the pattern:

The patern here is obvious. Let's write it down:

This formula gives us a number of flowers planted in the n-th month.
Answer:
A
