Question

Look at the series:
2, 7, 13, 22, 34, ........ What number should come next?

• A. 46
• B. 48
• C. 50
• D. 56

Hint:

When solving number series problems, identify the pattern in the differences between consecutive terms.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

The series increases by adding successive increments: - 7 - 2 = 5
- 13 - 7 = 6
- 22 - 13 = 9
- 34 - 22 = 12
The difference increases by 3 each time, so the next difference is 15, and 34 + 15 = 48.
