Choose the correct option from the given ones that will complete the series: 6, 8, 12, 18, 26, ?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → 36
The differences between successive terms are the even numbers in order:
8 − 6 = 2, 12 − 8 = 4, 18 − 12 = 6, 26 − 18 = 8
The next difference is 10, so the next term is \(26+10=36\)
