Question
You are given the following series of numbers:
2, 4, 5, 10, 11, 22
What number should come next?
A. 23
B. 44
C. 46
D. 52
Solution
The pattern in the series seems to be that every second number is double the number before it.
Let's break it down:
- 2 is the first number.
- 4 is double the first number (2*2).
- 5 is the next number, which doesn't follow the doubling pattern.
- 10 is double the third number (5*2).
- 11 is the next number, again not following the doubling pattern.
- 22 is double the fifth number (11*2).
Following this pattern, the next number should be double the sixth number (22*2), which is 44.
So, the answer is B. 44.
