Answer:

The number that comes next is;


118

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the series;


27,28,32,41,57,82

From the series, if we observe the series closely we can see a relationship between the difference between consecutive terms.


\begin{gathered} 28-27=1=1^2 \\ 32-28=4=2^2 \\ 41-32=9=3^2 \\ 57-41=16=4^2 \\ 82-57=25=5^2 \end{gathered}

We can see that the difference follows the same pattern.

So, the next term would be the sum of the last term and the square of 6;


\begin{gathered} 82+6^2 \\ =82+36 \\ =118 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the number that comes next is;


118
