Step-by-step solution

To solve this problem, we'll check for consistent differences between the numbers, as this can indicate a property such as an arithmetic sequence.

  • Step 1: Calculate the difference between each pair of consecutive numbers.

Let's look at the differences:

1613=3 16 - 13 = 3

2016=4 20 - 16 = 4

2320=3 23 - 20 = 3

  • Step 2: Analyze the differences.

The differences between consecutive numbers are not consistent: 3,4, 3, 4, and 3 3 .

This irregularity shows that there is no single property like a consistent common difference, which would indicate an arithmetic sequence.

Therefore, no particular property applies to this set as a whole based on the differences analyzed.

The correct choice is that a regular property does not exist among these numbers.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is: Does not exist.
