Which number will come in place of the question mark (?) in the following series?
4, 10, 32, 130, ?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Series: 4, 10, 32, 130, ?
Check pattern:
4 × 2 + 2 = 10
10 × 3 + 2 = 32
32 × 4 + 2 = 130
Pattern: ×2, ×3, ×4, ×5
So, next term:
130 × 5 + 2 = 650 + 2 = 652
Hence, the correct answer is option 2.
