For each sequence of shapes below find the number of dots in the 10th shape.

Dear student,

If you see the pattern you will find that a dot is increased in every next step in Top and Bottom row while the gap between the dots is increased in the Middle row.


$$\begin{gathered} In \mathit{t}\mathit{o}\mathit{p}\mathbf{ }\mathit{a}\mathit{n}\mathit{d}\mathbf{ }\mathit{b}\mathit{o}\mathit{t}\mathit{t}\mathit{o}\mathit{m}\mathbf{ }\mathit{r}\mathit{o}\mathit{w} \\ Ist step no. of dots 4 \\ IInd step no. of dots 5 \\ IIIrd step no. of dots 6 \\ IVth step no. of dots 7 \\ ...... \\ X step no. of dots 13 \\ In \mathit{m}\mathit{i}\mathit{d}\mathit{d}\mathit{l}\mathit{e}\mathbf{ }\mathit{r}\mathit{o}\mathit{w} gap increases as \\ Ist step gap between the dots 0 \\ IInd step gap between the dots 1 \\ IIIrd step gap between the dots 2 \\ IVth step gap between the dots 3 \\ ....... \\ X step gap between the dots 9 \end{gathered}$$
thus, the pattern will be
