    3. 16
    4. 17
Correct Option: A

The pattern of the sequence is :
Second term = First term + 4 = 8 + 4 = 12
Third term = Second term - 3 = 12 – 3 = 9
Fourth term = Third term + 4 = 9 + 4 = 13
Fifth term = Fourth term - 3 = 13 – 3 = 10
Sixth term = Fifth term + 4 = 10 + 4 = 14
Seventh term = Sixth term - 3 = 14 – 3 = ?
∴ ? = 11
Hence , required answer is 11.
