Question

Find the missing number in the series
$2,10,26$, _____, $242$

• A. $80$
• B. $81$
• C. $82$
• D. $84$

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

$82$

the series follows a pattern :

$2\times 3+4=10$
$10\times 3-4=26$
$26\times 3+4=82$
$82\times 3-4=242$.

Thus, the missing number is $82$.

Hence, option C is correct.
