Answer:

option D i.e 32

The common ratio of the sequence


(2)/(1) = (4)/(2) = (8)/(4) = (16)/(8) = 2

Therefore, the next no. is given by


(x)/(16) = 2


x = 16 * 2 = 32

Answer:

D.

Explanation:

To get from 1 to 2 you multiply by 2.

To get from 2 to 4 you multiply by 2.

Notice how each number is multiplied by 2? Now try multiplying 16 times 2 which would be 32.
