Question

Find the next number in the given series. 5, 12, 26, 54, 110, ?

• A. 160
• B. 222
• C. 214
• D. 154

Answer 1

Answer:

B. 222

Let's analyze the pattern in the given series:

12 = 5 * 2 + 2

26 = 12 * 2 + 2

54 = 26 * 2 + 2

110 = 54 * 2 + 2

The pattern is to multiply the previous number by 2 and then add 2.

Following this pattern, the next number would be:

110 * 2 + 2 = 220 + 2 = 222

Therefore, the next number in the series is 222.
