Identify the next term in the series: 7, 14, 21, 28, ...
Answer:
35
This is an arithmetic series where each term increases by a constant difference of 7. It can also be viewed as the multiplication table of 7. To find the next term, simply add 7 to the last number: 28 + 7 = 35.
122
What will come next in the given series: 3, 6, 9, 12, ...?
Answer:
15
The given series is a simple arithmetic sequence based on the multiples of 3. The difference between any two consecutive numbers is 3 (e.g., 6 - 3 = 3, 9 - 6 = 3). Therefore, adding 3 to the last term (12 + 3) results in 15.

Find the next number in the series: 2, 4, 6, 8, ...
Answer:
10
This number series follows a clear arithmetic progression where each subsequent number increases by a fixed value. By finding the difference between consecutive terms (4 - 2 = 2), we determine the common difference is 2. Adding 2 to the final term, 8 + 2, gives the next number in the sequence, which is 10.
