A pair of patterns with a set of rules are given as the column headings. Identify the tables which are correct for a given pair of patterns.

Pattern A: First number: 10, Rule: Subtract 1. Pattern B: First number: 20, Rule: Subtract 2
Pattern A: First number: 10, Rule: Subtract 2. Pattern B: First number: 20, Rule: Add 2
Pattern A: First number: 2, Rule: Multiply by 2. Pattern B: First number: 6, Rule: Multiply by 2

To identify the correct tables for the given patterns, we will apply the specified rules to each starting number in Patterns A and B.

  1. Pattern A: First number: 10, Rule: Subtract 1

    • Sequence: 10, 9, 8, 7, ...

    Pattern B: First number: 20, Rule: Subtract 2

    • Sequence: 20, 18, 16, 14, ...
  2. Pattern A: First number: 10, Rule: Subtract 2

    • Sequence: 10, 8, 6, 4, ...

    Pattern B: First number: 20, Rule: Add 2

    • Sequence: 20, 22, 24, 26, ...
  3. Pattern A: First number: 2, Rule: Multiply by 2

    • Sequence: 2, 4, 8, 16, ...

    Pattern B: First number: 6, Rule: Multiply by 2

    • Sequence: 6, 12, 24, 48, ...

Now let's check which combinations yield the correct sequences based on the rules provided.

  • If we have the first set of rules applied (Subtracting 1 and Subtracting 2) we can create the first table:

    • A: 10, 9, 8, ...
    • B: 20, 18, 16, ...
  • The second set of rules (Subtracting 2 and Adding 2) will give new values:

    • A: 10, 8, 6, ...
    • B: 20, 22, 24, ...
  • The third set of rules (Multiplying by 2 for both) will result in:

    • A: 2, 4, 8, ...
    • B: 6, 12, 24, ...

Based on the rules you provided, here are the correct matches based on what you've specified:

  1. For Pattern A (10 - 1) and Pattern B (20 - 2)
  2. For Pattern A (10 - 2) and Pattern B (20 + 2)
  3. For Pattern A (2 * 2) and Pattern B (6 * 2)
