Question

Complete the pattern 5, 10, 30, 60, 180, _____?????

Answer 1

5*2=10 10*3=30 30*2=60 60*3=180 180*2=360

Answer 2

Answer:  the next term will be 360.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

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

There is a pattern followed, i.e. :

$5\times 2=10\\\\10\times 3=30\\\\30\times 2=60\\\\60\times 3=180$

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

$180\times 2 = 360$

So, the next term will be 360.
