Question 14

Explanation

We analyze the pattern of changes between terms in the sequence $1001, 995, 991, 985, 981, \dots$

The pattern formed is as follows:

It can be seen that the repeating pattern is subtract 6 and subtract 4 ($-6, -4$).

Therefore, the next operation after $-4$ is subtract 6:

So, the correct value to complete the sequence is $975$.
