Question

Find the next number in the sequence 20,38,62,92,128....

Answer 1

the next number in the sequence is 170

Answer 2

The answer is 170.

Step-by-step explanation:

The numbers given in the sequence are 20, 38, 62, 92, 128.

• The difference between 38 and 20 is 18.
• The difference between 62 and 38 is 24.
• The difference between 92 and 62 is 30.
• The difference between 128 and 92 is 36.

The differences that are obtained are multiples of 6: 18, 24, 30, and 36.

Hence, the next multiple would be 42. So, adding 128 and 42, we obtain, 170

The next number in the series is thus, 170.
