Question

Complete the series by finding the missing term from the given alternatives.
$2,4,4,8,16,16,256,?$

• A. $64$
• B. $36$
• C. $180$
• D. $32$

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

$32$

There are two alternate series :
Series I : $2,4,16,256$ (next number is the square of previous number)
Series II : $4,8,16$ (number is multiplied by $2$ to get the next number)

Hence, the $?$ will be a part of Series II, which will be $16\times 2=32$
