Question

What is the next term in the given series; 160,176,208,256, ?

Answer 1

Answer:

320

explanation

160+16=176

176+2*16=208

208+3*16=256

256+4*16=320

Answer 2

1. 176 - 160 = 16
2. 208 - 176 = 32
3. 256 - 208 = 48

Also,

• 32 - 16 = 16
• 48 - 32 = 16

This means that the diferrence between the next term and 256 should be 48+16 = 64

ie, x - 256 = 64

x = 256 + 64

x = 320
