the next sequence follows a logic what number should replace the question mark ? 5,8,14,26,50,?

• 5+3=8
  8+3*2=14
  14+6*2=26
  26+12*2=50
  50+24*2=50+48=98
  ans 48

• ?=98
  explanation:: (present term)*2 - 2 = next term
  5
  8=5*2 - 2
  14=8*2 - 2
  26=14*2 - 2
  50=26*2 - 2
  ?=50*2 - 2 =>?=98

• 5x2-2=8,8x2-2=14,26x2-2=50,50x2-2=98
• 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
• 5*2=10 10-2=8
  8*2=16 16-2=14
  like wise
  50*2=100 100-2=98
• 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• 5+3=8
  8+(3x2)=14
  14+(6x2)=26
  26+(12x2)=50
  50+(24x2)=98
  so 98 is the answer

• Take alternate number- i.e. 5+9=14
  8+18=26
  14+36=50
  Now 26+72=98.

• 5 8 14 26 50 X
  
  3 6 12 24 X-50 (so the value of X-50 is 48 b.coz in this series the 2nd no is twice of first no )
  
  so X=50+48=98
