Answers
Answer:
the next number is 62 it is the answer
68 is the missing number in the series.
1,6,13,24,41, 68
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
1,6,13,24,41,?
To find:
The missing number
Solution:
- This is a numerical sequence by which numbers are arranged in an orderly to form a series.
- The pattern in the series is (1², 2²+2, 3²+4, 4²+8, 5²+16, 6²+32)
- The pattern states that (1²,2²,3²,4²,5²,6²) all are natural number squares which are added with the (0,2,4,8,16,32) which is (2¹,2²,2³,2⁴,2⁵)a multiple of 2 terms that is (2, 2×2, 2×2×2,c2×2×2×2, 2×2×2×2×2)
The first number is 1²=1+0=1
The second number 6 is obtained by 2²+2 thus next natural number square with 2¹ we get,
1⇒6
⇒2²+2
⇒4+2=6
The third number 13 is obtained by 3²+4 thus next natural number square with 2² we get,
6⇒13
⇒ 3²+4
⇒9+4=13
The fourth number 24 is obtained by 4²+8 thus next natural number square with 2³ we get,
13⇒24
⇒4²+8
⇒16+8=24
The fifth number 41 is obtained by 5²+16 thus next natural number square with 2⁴ we get,
24⇒41
⇒5²+16
⇒25+16=41
The sixth number 68 is obtained by 6²+32 thus next natural number square with 2⁵ we get,
41⇒?
⇒6²+32
⇒36+32=68
Hence,
68 is the missing number in the series.
