Answer :
To determine what numbers will come next in the sequence: 145, 148, 141, 144, 137, we need to identify the pattern that affects these numbers.
Let's analyze the differences between consecutive terms:
The difference between 145 and 148 is +3.
The difference between 148 and 141 is -7.
The difference between 141 and 144 is +3.
The difference between 144 and 137 is -7.
Notice the pattern: it alternates between adding 3 and subtracting 7.
Applying this pattern to find the next numbers:
From 137, add 3 to get the next number: 137 + 3 = 140.
From 140, subtract 7 to get the next number: 140 - 7 = 133.
So, the next numbers in the sequence are 140 and 133.
Therefore, the correct choice is option D) 140, 133.
