Question

Complete the series : 2 ,8 ,26 ,? ,242.

Answer 1

2 * 3 = 6 + 2 = 8.
8 * 3 = 24 + 2 = 26.
26 * 3 = 78 + 2 = 80.
80 * 3 = 240 + 2 = 242.

Answer 2

Answer:

80

Step-by-step explanation:

The given sequence is

2 ,8 ,26 ,? ,242

We need to find the missing term.

To get the next term multiply each term by 3 and then add 2 in the resultant number.

$2\times 3+2=6+2=8$

$8\times 3+2=24+2=26$

$26\times 3+2=78+2=80$

$80\times 3+2=240+2=242$

Therefore, the missing term is 80.
