Question

Complete the following series:  
9, 12, 18, 30, 54, ?

Accepted Answer

The pattern in the series is as follows:

- The difference between consecutive terms doubles at each step.  
- Starting with the first term (9):

1. $$ 9 + 3 = 12 $$ (difference = $$ +3 $$)  
2. $$ 12 + 6 = 18 $$ (difference = $$ +6 $$)  
3. $$ 18 + 12 = 30 $$ (difference = $$ +12 $$)  
4. $$ 30 + 24 = 54 $$ (difference = $$ +24 $$)  
5. $$ 54 + 48 = 102 $$ (difference = $$ +48 $$)

Thus, the next term in the series is **102**, which corresponds to option **(d)**.
