Question

Which number will come next in the given number sequence?

3, 6, 12, 24, 48, ?

• A. 60
• B. 42
• C. 82
• D. 96

Answer 1

The correct option is D 96

If you observe the second term is the twice of the first, third is the twice of the second number and so on....

6 = 2 $\times$ 3
12 = 2 $\times$ 6
24 = 2 $\times$ 12
48 = 2 $\times$ 24
96 = 2 $\times$ 48
