Which of the following numbers will replace the question mark (?) in the given series?
12, 24, 48, 84, 132,?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. 192.
Given series: 12, 24, 48, 84, 132,?
The series follows this pattern:
12 + 12 = 24
24 + (12 × 2) = 24 + 24 = 48
48 + (12 × 3) = 48 + 36 = 84
84 + (12 × 4) = 84 + 48 = 132
132 + (12 × 5) = 132 + 60 = 192
So, the next term in the series is 192.
