CASE BASED QUESTIONS
19. A gardener is planning a flower garden. He decides to plant the flowers in rows where
the number of flowers in each row follows a pattern.
Based on the above information answer the following questions:
i) In the first row he plants 2 flowers, second row 4 flowers and in the third row 6
flowers. If he continues this pattern, how many flowers will be there in the 7th
row?
ii) How many total flowers will he have planted by the time he finishes the 5th row?
iii) If the pattern changes after the fifth row, so that each subsequent row has one
less flower than the previous row, how many flowers will be there in the 10th
row?
20. A builder is constructing a wall using bricks. He starts by placing 1 brick in the first row, 3
bricks in the second row and 5 bricks in the third row.

Based on the above information answer the following questions.
i) If this pattern continues how many bricks will be there in the 6th row?
ii) How many bricks are needed to build the wall upto 7th row?
