• A. 18
• B. 24
• C. 32
• D. 30

Hint:

In number series problems, look for simple multiplication, division, addition, or subtraction patterns to find the next term.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The series provided is 2, 4, 8, 16, ? The pattern observed is that each term is multiplied by 2 to derive the subsequent term: \[ 2 \times 2 = 4, \quad 4 \times 2 = 8, \quad 8 \times 2 = 16 \] Consequently, the ensuing term is calculated as: \[ 16 \times 2 = 32 \] Final answer Answer: \(\boxed{32}\)
