Question

What should come in place of ? 2,12,36,80,150,?

Answer 1

The pattern in the given sequence is not immediately clear. However, if we examine the differences between consecutive terms, we can identify a pattern:

12 - 2 = 10
36 - 12 = 24
80 - 36 = 44
150 - 80 = 70

The differences between consecutive terms are increasing by 14 each time. Therefore, to continue the pattern, we can add 14 to the last difference:

70 + 14 = 84

So, the missing number in the sequence is 150 + 84 = 234.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

that is a more complex series. puhh !

so,

2 = 1³ + 1² = 1 + 1

12 = 2³ + 2² = 8 + 4

36 = 3³ + 3² = 27 + 9

80 = 4³ + 4² = 64 + 16

150 = 5³ + 5² = 125 + 25

therefore, the next number is

6³ + 6² = 216 + 36 = 252
