Detailed Explanation & Answer
The sequence increases by adding consecutive odd numbers squared: 1², 3², 5², ...
0.25 + 1² = 2.25
2.25 + 3² = 6.25
6.25 + 5² = 12.25

Now, continue the pattern:
12.25 + 7² = 12.25 + 49 = 20.25
लगातार विषम संख्याओं का वर्ग जोड़ने पर अनुक्रम बढ़ता है: 1², 3², 5², ...
0.25 + 1² = 2.25
2.25 + 3² = 6.25
6.25 + 5² = 12.25

अब, पैटर्न जारी रखें:
12.25 + 7² = 12.25 + 49 = 20.25
