Question:

What will be the next number of the series.

3, 6, 10.5, 17, 26, ?

Options:

31

38

40

41

Correct Answer:

38

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → 38

3, 6, 10.5, 17, 26, ?

Difference between next term and previous term = 3, 4.5, 6.5, 9

again the difference of difference = 1.5, 2, 2.5 then next difference must be 3.

so, 3, 6, 10.5, 17, 26, ( 26 + 9 + 3 = 38 )
