Question
Find the next term in 3, 7, 16, 35, 74?

Answer

In the number series 3, 7, 16, 35, 74, ... the difference between the terms is continuously increasing. Therefore, there is a possibility of obtaining the next term by multiplying the terms of the series with a number.
Here, 3 x 2 + 1 = 7, 7 × 2 + 2 = 16, 16 x 2 + 3 = 35, 35 × 2 + 4 = 74 are obtained.
Thus, the next term will be 74 x 2 + 5 = 153.
