The first three terms of an infinite sequence are 2, 7, and 22. After the first term, each consecutive term can be obtained by multiplying the previous term by 3 and then adding 1. What is the sum of the tens digit and the units digit of the thirty-fifth term in the sequence?

A. 2
B. 4
C. 7
D. 9
E. 13

Let's examine a few terms and look for a pattern.
02, 07, 22, 67, 202, 607, 1822, 5467, . . .

So, the pattern goes 02, 07, 22, 67, etc.

This pattern repeats every 4 terms.
So, the 4th term ends in 67
The 8th term ends in 67
The 12th term ends in 67
.
.
.
The 32nd term ends in 67
From here, the 33rd term ends in 02
The 34th term ends in 07
The 35th term ends in [spoiler]22[/spoiler]

Answer: B

Cheers,
Brent

Lets first term T1, second term T2 ..so on
I found the below pattern
T1= 2 = (5*3^0 -1)/2
T2 = 7 = (5*3^1-1)/2
T3=22= (5*3^2 -1)/2
........................
T35= (5*3^34-1)/2

Now our job is to find the last two digit of 3^34

Last two digit can be found very by binomial expansion
3^34= (3^2)17
=(9)^17
=(10-1)^17
last two digit would be 17c1 *10 -1 = 69

hence last two digit of T35= (69*5-1)/2= 44/2=22

hence answer 2+2=4
hence B
