Answer:
Here we are given with the numbers 4 16 36 64 100
So in these kind of questions we have to find what common pattern is prevailing so in this one:
Subtracting every no from it's succeeding no gives a difference and those respective differences are forming pattern as follows:
16–4=12
36–16=20
64–36=28
100–64=36
So we have a new series 12 20 28 36 in this Subtracting every no from it's succeeding no gives a difference of 8 now in the latter series continues with the same pattern of difference of 8 and the series proceeds with next numbers 44 52 60 now these no gets added in the first original series as described as follows :
100+44=144
144+52=196
196+60=256
So the next 3 numbers are 144,196,256
