what would be the next number in the sequence 2. 20, 74,
110 ?

Answer Posted / mahaboobali

The correct answer is 182.

The Logic behind is 2, 20, 74, 110, ? ...

The diff between 20 and 2 is 20-2=18
The diff between 74 and 20 is 74-20=54
The diff between 110 and 74 is 110-74=36

So it is a multiple of 18 in this fashion 18 * (1, 3, 2, 4 and so on)

So the series is like after 2
2+18*1=20
20+18*3=74
74+18*2=110
110+18*4=182 and so on...
