2,6,14,24,42,62,?
complete the sequence and do tell that how it is solved

Question

anonymous · Answer

I answered this before. Is the 4th number supposed to be 26? Because that would make more sense.

anonymous · Answer

no its not 
i have seen it at two or three places it's the same

anonymous · Answer

So the differences are +4, +8, +10, +18, +20. Doesn't look like an easy sequence.

anonymous · Answer

and the next no. in the sequence would be....?

anonymous · Answer

It's not a well-formed sequence. There is no one correct answer. You could say it's 94.

anonymous · Answer

i think i got the answer it's not 94
it's 86
thanks for help:)

amistre64 · Answer

+4, +8, +10, +18, +20.
   +4    +2     +8   +2
       -2      +6    -6
           +8     +12
                +4 ........ it was worth a shot :)

anonymous · Answer

It's 86 only if the 4th number is 26, like I said earlier.

anonymous · Answer

nups it's 24
and it's done :)

anonymous · Answer

My head is exploding. This makes no sense.

anonymous · Answer

please explain how you got 86.

anonymous · Answer

amistre64 found the correct sequence it's
+4, +8, +10, +18, +20.
   +4    +2     +8   +2
       -2      +6    -6
           +8     +12
                +4 
and adding +4 to +20 
it's +24 the next difference

anonymous · Answer

No, his triangle is wrong. The "+12" on the second-to-last row should be "-12" because +6 to -6 is -12. So the last number shouldn't be "+4," it should be "-20." And you can't just add that to the last difference to get the next one. I'm telling you. It's a crap sequence, and 86 only makes sense if the 4th number is 26!

anonymous · Answer

what about this
+4    +8       +10     +18     +20
2*2    2*4      2*5      2*9     2*10 and then we repeat it like
+24
2*12
then with 14,15,19,20....

anonymous · Answer

you could make up any rule whatsoever like that to justify the next number, though. Like:
+4    +8     +10    +18      +20    +32     +34
     +4     +2      +8       +2       +12     +2

That would justify my answer of 96.

or:

+4    +8       +10     +18     +20
2*2    2*4      2*5      2*9     2*10 and then we repeat it like
+6
3*2
then with 3*4, 3*5, 3*9,....

Your answer is also plausible. They have not given enough information to be able to say the correct answer. You could justify anything.

anonymous · Answer

yes that's correct and i recently came up with another one which gives 98 as the next no.
and your no. comes out to be 94 instead of 96
