Answer 2

Answer:

The missing number is 136.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey Mate,

Basically this type of question solve on base of options. Because many time their is more than one logic in the series. and if we get some other logic so our answer will be wrong. But their is no option. No problem we will make our method.

Series :      5, 8, 16, 40, 88, X

Different : +3, +8, +24, +48, Y

Logic :

8 × 3 = 24

24 × 2 = 48

48 × 1 = 48 = Y

So, X = 88 + Y

X = 88 + 48

X = 136

So, The missing number is 136.

#I already told you that this types of questions solve on basis of option. Because some series has more than one logic.  So, if my logic and editors logic is different then the answer is wrong. But if my logic and editors logic is same then the answer is Correct..
