Answer 2

Given:

4,24,48,72,96,...........

To find :

The missing number

Solution:

The question is from number series.

In such questions we need to find a specific pattern that all the numbers in the series are following.

with the help of that pattern we need to figure out the missing number.

Lets try to interpret the pattern

4 = 4× 1

24 = 4× 6

48 = 4 ×12

72 = 4× 18

96 = 4 ×24

The pattern is

4×(6)p = n

p varies from 1,2,3,4 ....

the next value of p =6

n = 4 × 6(5)

n = 120

The missing number is 120
