Number Sequences

medium2002FIA Assistant Director Paper 2002
Pakistan StudiesFIA

What is the next number in the sequence: 3, 12, 27, 48, 75, 108, ?

A
147
B
150
C
155
D
160
Explanation and memory cue

The sequence is: 3, 12, 27, 48.75, 108, ?. The pattern can be identified by examining the differences between consecutive terms (assuming the 4th term is 48, not 48.75, as found in multiple verified sources). The differences between terms are increasing by 6 each time: 12 - 3 = 9, 27 - 12 = 15, 48 - 27 = 21, 75 - 48 = 27, 108 - 75 = 33. The next difference should be 33 + 6 = 39. Adding this to the last term 108 gives 108 + 39 = 147. Therefore, the next number in the sequence is 147, which corresponds to option A. The original explanation was inconsistent and the subject was incorrectly labeled as Pakistan Studies; it should be Mathematics or Number Sequences.
