Question

What should come in place of the question mark (?) in the given series?

18, 74, 298, 1194, 4778, ?

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. Analyze the pattern between consecutive terms:
   - $18 	imes 4 + 2 = 72 + 2 = 74$
   - $74 	imes 4 + 2 = 296 + 2 = 298$
   - $298 	imes 4 + 2 = 1192 + 2 = 1194$
   - $1194 	imes 4 + 2 = 4776 + 2 = 4778$

2. The pattern is to multiply the previous number by 4 and then add 2.

3. Apply the pattern to the last number $4778$:
   $$4778 	imes 4 + 2 = 19112 + 2 = 19114$$

**Answer:** $19114$
