Which number will replace the question mark (?) in the following series?
24, 26, ?, 164, 658, 3292
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e.54.
Given series: 24, 26, ?, 164, 658, 3292
The series follows this pattern:
24 × 1 + 2 = 26
26 × 2 + 2 = 54
54 × 3 + 2 = 164
164 × 4 + 2 = 658
658 × 5 + 2 = 3292
So, the missing term in the series is 54.
