  • Question
  • 5 , 8 ,16 , 26 , 50 , 98 ,194


  • Options
  • A. 8
  • B. 26
  • C. 50
  • D. 16

  • Correct Answer
  • 16 

    Explanation

    The given series is in the below pattern,
    Next term = ( Previous term × 2 ) - 2
    First term = 5
    Second term = ( First term × 2 ) - 2
    ? Second term = ( 5 × 2 ) - 2 = 8 ;
    Third term = ( Second term × 2 ) - 2
    ? Third term = ( 8 × 2 ) - 2 = 16; 16 is wrong. It should be 14.
    Similarly , we can calculate all others terms also.
    Fourth term = ( Third term × 2 ) - 2
    ? Fourth term = ( 14 × 2 ) - 2 = 26 ;
    Fifth term = ( Fourth term × 2 ) - 2
    ? Fifth term = ( 26 × 2 ) - 2 = 50 ;
    Sixth term = ( Third term × 2 ) - 2
    ? Sixth term = ( 50 × 2 ) - 2 = 98 ;
    Seventh term = ( Sixth term × 2 ) - 2
    ? Seventh term = ( 98 × 2 ) - 2 = 194
    Hence, 16 is wrong. It should be 14.
