Identify the next number from the following series 36, 40, 48, 60, 76, ?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → 96
The differences between the terms grow by 4 each time:
\(40-36=4\), \(48-40=8\), \(60-48=12\), \(76-60=16\)
The next difference is 20, so the next number \(=76+20=\) 96
