We can find the relationship between the terms of the sequence:
2nd term-1st term=3-1=2
3rd term-2nd term=6-3=3
4th term-3th term=10-6=4
Therefore 5th term-4th term=5th term-10=5
Therefore 5th term=10+5=15
The 1st term=1
The 2nd term=1+2=3
The 3rd term=1+2+3=6
The 4th term=1+2+3+4=10
The n th term=1+2+3+.....+n=n(n+1)/2
Therefore the general term is n(n+1)/2
