Explanation by: Admin

Let's analyze the pattern in the given sequence: 2, 5, 9, ?, 20, 27

Finding the pattern:

2 → 5 (+3)

5 → 9 (+4)

9 → ? (+5)

? → 20 (+6)

20 → 27 (+7)


Following the pattern of adding consecutive integers (+3, +4, +5, +6, +7), we get:

9 + 5 = 14


Thus, the missing term is 14, and the correct answer is:
(A) 14
