| 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 32 or 2 × 30 + 2 or 12 + (25 × 2) or 4 + (29 × 2) or 31 × 2 or uses or states \(2n + 2\) | M1 |
| 62 | A1 |
| (2) |
Notes
M1: for adding 2 and continuing to at least pattern 15 (allow one error) or for a correct diagram or any correct method which would lead to 62

| E.g. \(n\)th term is \(2n + 2\) oe or gives a counter example e.g. when \(n = 1\), \(2n\) gives 2 (not 4) Answer: No with reason | B1 |
