find the next element in the series...
8,12,24,60,-----

• 168
  
  8+4*3^0=12
  12+4*3^1=24
  24+4*3^2=60
  60+4*3^3=168

• Let the series be 8,12,24,60,x
  
  8*1.5 = 12
  12*2 = 24
  24*2.5 = 60
  60*3 = 180
  So 180 is the next element of the series.

• difference btw two number is..4,12,36,
  ie4*3=12
  12*3=36
  36*3=108.
  so next number is 60+108=168

• take out the difference between each number:
  12-8=4
  24-12=12
  60-24=36
  each number no is multiple of 3 i.e
  4*3=12,12*3=36,36*3=72
  then add these multiples to no i.e
  4+8=12
  12+12=24
  24+36=60
  60+72=132
  therefore ans is 132

• 8+(4)=12+(12)=24+(36)=60+(108)=168 ans
  
  
  i.e adding 4 in 8 i.e 12
  adding 4*3 in 12 i.e. 24
  adding 12*3 in 24 i.e. 60
  adding 36*3 in 60 i.e. 168
• 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(3) No(0)
• Ans: 168
  
  12-8=4
  24-12=12(4*3)
  60-24=36(12*3)
  168=60+(36*3)

• Ans. is 168..
  4*3=12 ,12+12=24
  12*3=36 , 24+36=60
  36*3=108 , 60+108=168
• 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(0)
• Ans: 168
  
  12-8=4
  24-12=12(4*3)
  60-24=36(12*3)
  168=60+(36*3)

• difference between 8 and 12 is 4
  4*3=12
  
  12+12=24
  
  12*3=36
  
  36+24=60
  
  36*3=168

• Ans is 168
  8+4=12
  4*3+12=24
  12*3+24=60
  36*3+60=168

• 8*1.5 = 12
  12*2 = 24
  24*2.5 = 60
  60*3 = 180
  So 180 is the next element of the series.

• second( 12 )---->first( 8 ) * 1.5
  third( 24 )------->second( 12 ) * 2
  fourth( 60 )----->third( 24 ) * 2.5
  so fifth-----> fourth( 60 ) * 3 ---------> 180

• 12-8=4
  24-12=12
  60-24=36
  here d differences is in GP so next term will be 36*3=108
  the ans will be 108+60=168

• 36*3=108
  60+108=168 answer because
  these series differnrence
  4,12,36, so
  multiple 3

• 2^3=8 (2^2)*3=12 ( 2^3 )*3=24 (2^2)*3*5=60 so (2^3)*3*5=120

• multiplying each element of the given series by series of odd numbers starting from 3 followed by 5 and 7
  8*3= 24
  12*5= 60
  24*7= 168
  60*9= 540
• 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• 8+ 4*1(4)=12
  12+4*3(12)=24
  24 +12*3(36)=60
  60+36*3(108)=168

• get the diffrence : 4 12 36
  Thought it as :
  4 X 3^0
  4 X 3^1
  4 X 3^2
  So next differnce : 4 X 3^3 = 108
  So next number : 60+108 =168
