Answer:

160

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of DVDs put on the first rack = 5

Number of DVDs put on the second rack = 10

If we closely observe, the number of DVDs on the second rack is nothing but number of DVDs on the first rack multiplied by 2.

Number of DVDs put on the third rack = 20

If we closely observe, the number of DVDs on the third rack is nothing but number of DVDs on the second rack multiplied by 2.

Number of DVDs put on the fourth rack = 40

If we closely observe, the number of DVDs on the fourth rack is nothing but number of DVDs on the third rack multiplied by 2.

Number of DVDs put on the fifth rack = 80

If we closely observe, the number of DVDs on the fifth rack is nothing but number of DVDs on the fourth rack multiplied by 2.

Therefore, to find the number of DVDs on the sixth rack as per similar pattern, we need to multiply the number of DVDs on the fifth rack with 2.

Number of DVDs on the sixth rack = [tex]80\times 2 = \bold{160}[/tex]
