2 , 4, 8, 16, 24, ....

1st series...

2 = 2^1 * 1 (2 * 1 )
8 = 2^2 * 2 (4 * 2)
24 = 2^3 * 3 (8*3)

2nd series ...
4 = 2*2
16 = 4*4
next number = 6*6 = 36

If the series also had a 1, we could think on the lines of PNG image formats color depth in bits.Which has the following sequence 1 , 2 , 4 , 8 , 16 , 24 , 32 , 48 , 64

2,4
8,16
24,48
60,120

2 = 8*(1/4)
4 = 8*(1/2)
8 = 8*1
16 = 8*2
24 = 8*3

multiplier = (1/4)*(2^i)

2,4,8,16,24,x(let)
taking 3 values from starting ....
2,4,8 => (2*8)/4=4.... a,b,c = (a*c)/b...
4,8,16 => (4*16)/8 = 8
8,16,24 => (8*24)/16=12.... sexuence is , 4,8,12 ... so next num is 16..
16,24,x => (16*x)/24=16 => x=24 ... answer....
..
..
DO SUGGEST , if there is any prob

I think there's really no wrong answer as long as you can sufficiently explain why... that's the point of the question, to see how many ways you can look at one problem

lets break it for alternate record

2 8 24 48 48
(2*4) (8*3) (24*2) (48*1)
--------------------------------------------------------
4 16 48 96 96
(4*4) (16*3) (48*2) (96*1)


so answer can be 2,4,8,16,24,48,48,96,48,96

ans =36

ans=36

I agree with you. Your points of view make me thinking about some thing for my project.

2,4,2*4,4*4,8*3,16*3=48

{02,04,08,16,24.......}
{new no. = previous no.+sum of its digits+its first digit}
{Now, 04=02+(0+2)+0}
{08=04+(0+4)+0}
{16=16+(1+6)+1}
{24=16+(1+6)+1}
{x=24+(2+4)+2}
{therefore, x=32}

2 , 4, 8, 16, 24, ....

1st series:

2 = 2^1 * 1
8 = 2^2 * 2
24 = 2^3 * 3

2nd series ...
4 = 2^2
16 = 2^4
next number = 2^6 = 64

it should be 36

4*(1/2) = 2
4 * (1) = 4
4 * (2) = 8
4 * (4) = 16
4 * (6) = 24
4 * (8) = 32
4 * (10) = 40...

the next number in the series = 32.
.25*8 = 2
.50*8 = 4
1*8 = 8
2*8 = 16
3*8 = 24
4*8 = 32
5*8 = 40
6*8 = 48

find x in given series. 4,8,8,16,12,24,x

2 8 24 -----> 2*4 = 8, 8 *3 = 24
4 16 -----> 4 *4 = 16, 16*3 = 48.

Ans: 48.
