This is a geometric series with common ratio 2. Next term = 96 × 2 = 192

Question 2

Find the next term in the series: 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, ?
This is an exponential series with base 2: 2^1, 2^2, 2^3... Next term = 2^7 = 128

Question 3

Find the next term in the series: 2, 5, 8, 11, 14, 17, ?
This is an arithmetic series with common difference 3. Next term = 17 + 3 = 20

Question 4

Find the next term in the series: 1, 8, 27, 64, 125, ?
This is a series of consecutive perfect cubes: 1³, 2³, 3³... Next term = 6³ = 216

Question 5

Question 8

Find the next term in the series: 2, 6, 24, 120, ?
This is a factorial series: 2!, 3!, 4!... Next term = 6! = 720

Question 9

Find the next term in the series: 1/8, 2/8, 3/8, 4/8, 5/8, ?
The numerators increase by 1 each time while denominator remains 8. Next term = 6/8

Question 10

Find the next term in the series: 3, 4, 6, 16, 12, 64, 24, 256, ?
Two alternating geometric series: First: ×2, Second: ×4. Next follows second pattern: 24 × 4 = 96

Question 11

Find the next term in the series: 64, 256, 1024, 4096, 16384, 65536, ?
This is an exponential series with base 4: 4^3, 4^4, 4^5... Next term = 4^9 = 262144

Question 12

Find the next term in the series: 11, 22, 33, 44, 55, 66, ?
This is a series of palindromic numbers (numbers that read the same forwards and backwards). The next palindrome after 66 is 77

Question 13

Find the next term in the series: 8, 13, 18, 23, 28, 33, ?
This is an arithmetic series with common difference 5. Next term = 33 + 5 = 38

Question 14

Find the next term in the series: 27, 64, 125, 216, 343, ?
This is a series of consecutive perfect cubes: 3³, 4³, 5³... Next term = 8³ = 512

Question 15

Find the next term in the series: 1/3, 2/4, 3/5, 4/6, 5/7, 6/8, ?

Question 16

Find the next term in the series: 22, 33, 44, 55, 66, 77, ?
This is a series of palindromic numbers (numbers that read the same forwards and backwards). The next palindrome after 77 is 88

Question 17

Find the next term in the series: 11, 12, 14, 17, 21, 26, ?
The differences between terms increase by 1 each time. Last difference was 5, next difference is 6, so next term = 26 + 6 = 32

Question 18

Find the next term in the series: 6, 8, 11, 15, 20, ?
The differences between terms increase by 1 each time. Last difference was 5, next difference is 6, so next term = 20 + 6 = 26

Question 19
