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

44, 52, 54, 62, 64, 72,?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. 74.

Given series: 44, 52, 54, 62, 64, 72,?

The series follows this pattern:

44 + 8 = 52

52 + 2 = 54

54 + 8 = 62

62 + 2 = 64

64 + 8 = 72

72 + 2 = 74

So, the next term in the series is 74.
