Find the next series
2,5,10,17,26, 37, ? is :
Hint:
This kind of problem can be solved by trail and error method
usually these problem will have some order either increase or decrease
Solution:
here it increase 2 then 5 then 10 ....
so first step find difference between values
2, 5 difference 3
5, 10 difference 5
10, 17 difference 7
so there is an increment of 2 with the difference value. or simply the series is populated with odd number
so the next term
2+3 = 5, 5+5=10, 10+7=17, 17+9=26, 26+11=37, 37+13=50
so the value is 50
