Answer 2

Given:

A series of numbers 18, 24, 32,? 54.

To Find:

The missing term in the series is?

Solution:

The given problem can be solved by developing a common logic between every term.

1. The given series is 18,24,32,? 54.

2. The second term in the series is obtained as,

=> Second term = 24 = 18 + 6,

3. The third term of the series is obtained as,

=>Third term = 32 = 24 + 6 + 2,

4. The fourth term ( missing term ) of the series is obtained using the same logic,

=>Fourth term = Third term + 6 + 2 + 2 = 32 + 10 = 42. ( Missing term )

5. The fifth term of the series is obtained as,

=>Fifth term = Fourth term + 6 + 2 +2 + 2 = 42 + 12 = 54.

Therefore, the missing number in the series is 42.
