Question

What comes next? 2,8, 64,?

• A. 128
• B. 256
• C. 512
• D. 1024

Answer 1

Answer:

D. 1024

The pattern is:

• $(2 \to 8 = 2^3)$

• $(8 \to 64 = 8^2)$

A more consistent way to see it is:

• $(2 \times 4 = 8)$

• $(8 \times 8 = 64)$

The multiplier doubles each time: 4, 8, 16.

So the next term is:

$64 \times 16 = 1024$

Answer: 1024
