What should come in place of the question mark (?) in the following series?

4, 10, ?, 82, 244, 730, 2188

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 28.

Given series: 4, 10, ?, 82, 244, 730, 2188

(4 × 3) - 2 = 10

(10 × 3) - 2 = 28

(28 × 3) - 2 = 82

(82 × 3) - 2 = 244

(244 × 3) - 2 = 730
