Answer: the next term will be 360.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that


5,10,30,60,180,........

There is a pattern followed, i.e. :


5* 2=10\\\\10* 3=30\\\\30* 2=60\\\\60* 3=180

It means first term is multiplied by 2 to get the second term ,

Second term is multiplied by 3 to get the third term,

Third term is multiplied by again 2 to get the fourth term,

Fourth term is multiplied by again 3 to get the fifth term,

So, we need to calculate the sixth term , by following this pattern we get that


180* 2 = 360

So, the next term will be 360.
