Answer:
The correct answer is - 768.
Step-by-step explanation:
The given question is based on a specific pattern present in between the numbers in the given series -
Series = 25 50 99 196 388
to find - next number in series
let us find the relation between the initial two number:
25 - 50, here number 50 is two times of 25 or (x*2-0)
relation between 2nd and 3rd number:
50 - 99, here 99 is two times of 50 minus 1 or (x*2-1)
relation between 3rd and 4th number:
99 - 196, here 196 is two times of 99 minus 2 or (x*2-2)
relation between 4th and 5th number:
196 - 388, here 388 is the two times of 196 minus 4 or (x*2-4)
So on this pattern, the next number would be = x*2-8
388*2-8
= 768
