Question

Which number among the following is a term of the given series?
Series: 3, 6, 18, 72, (?)

• A. 288
• B. 144
• C. 216
• D. 360

Hint:

In such series questions, check if the pattern involves multiplication or division and continue the same pattern to find the next term.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The series follows the pattern: \[ 3 \times 2 = 6, \quad 6 \times 3 = 18, \quad 18 \times 4 = 72, \quad 72 \times 5 = 360 \] Thus, the next term should be 72 * 5 = 360, so the correct answer is (C) 216.
