SSC CGL - 26 Jul 2023 - Shift 2 • Reasoning • Q88

Which of the following numbers will replace the question mark (?) in the given series?

2, 10, 40, 120, 240,?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. 240.

Given series: 2, 10, 40, 120, 240,?

The series follows this pattern:

2 × 5 = 10

10 × 4 = 40

40 × 3 = 120

120 × 2 = 240

240 × 1 = 240

So, the next term in the series is 240.
