5 rows are to be added in the pattern if the ratio will be 7:6 between number of straight lines.
What is a pattern?
A pattern is a sequence. It can be an AP, GP also.
How to determine the number of rows to be added?
present ratio between number of straight lines and number of arcs
=8:9
When we add 1 row it will increase 4 straight lines and 3 arcs. So when 5 rows are added it will increase 20 straight lines and 15 arcs.
Then total number of straight lines will be 28 and the total number of arcs will be 24 and the ratio will be 28:24 which after dividing by 4 becomes 7:6.
Hence 5 rows are to be added in the pattern B to get the ratio 7:6.
