• 7 - 1 = 6
  21- 7 = 14
  42- 21= 21
  
  6 , 14 , 21
  14 - 6 = 8
  21 - 14= 7
  
  so next difference will be 6
  27 - 21= 6
  
  so next number will be 42 + 27 = 69

• 7 - 1 = 6
  21- 7 = 14
  42- 21= 21
  
  6 ,14,21
  14=6*2+2
  21=6*3+3
  so next difference will be 6*4+4=28
  hence next term=42+28=70
