EEJ MAIN Aptitude QUESTION #10929
Question 1
In a series: 2, 5, 10, 17, 26, 37, ? — what is the next term?
  • 48
  • 50✔️
  • 51
  • 52
Correct Answer Explanation

Finding the pattern of differences:

\(5-2=3,\ 10-5=5,\ 17-10=7,\ 26-17=9,\ 37-26=11\

Differences: 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 → increasing by 2 each time (odd numbers).

Next difference = 13.

Next term = \(37 + 13 = \mathbf{50}\
