Question

2 26 74 98 146 ___. Find the missing term.& give explanation

Answer 1

Well, that's a very good question. Check it out.

$\bf\large\underline\blue{Given\:Series:-}$

• 2 26 74 98 146

First of all, we will check whether the difference is a constant or not.

26 - 2 = 24

74 - 26 = 48

98 - 74 = 24

146 - 98 = 48

So, we can see that the difference is at first 24, then 48 and then again 24,48,24 and so on.

So the next term will be:-

146+24=170

$\bf\large\underline\blue{Answer:-}$

• Next term of the series will be 170.

Answer 2

Given series :-

• 2, 26, 74, 98, 146, ___.

Answer :-

Here we can see the difference between each term is 24 .

So, we can find the next one by adding 24 to the last term.

Last term given :- 146

On adding 24 to it we get, :-

146 + 24 = 170

So, the missing term in the series is 170.
