Question

Your friend challenges you to solve a pattern and tell him which number comes next. You accept the challenge. Which number comes next in the number pattern given below?

4, 8, 16, 32, ____

• A. 36
• B. 52
• C. 40
• D. 64

Answer 1

The correct option is D

64

Observing the given pattern, we find that each number in the pattern is twice the preceding number.

4$\times$2 =8, 8$\times$2=16, 16$\times$2 = 32

So, the next number will be 32$\times$2 = 64.
