Which of the following numbers will replace the question mark (?) and complete the given number series?
48, 50, 54, 66, 114,?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 354.
Given series: 48, 50, 54, 66, 114,?
The series follows this pattern:
48 + 2 = 50
50 + (2 × 2) = 50 + 4 = 54
54 + (4 × 3) = 54 + 12 = 66
66 + (12 × 4) = 66 + 48 = 114
114 + (48 × 5) = 114 + 240 = 354
So, the next term in the series is 354.
