• 12-8=4
  24-12=12=(4*3)
  60-24=36=(12*3)
  
  next difference 36*3=108
  ans 60+108=168

• Pattern start at 8 multiply by 3 subtract 12 will give you the following
  8 x 3 = 24 - 12 = 12
  12 x 3 = 36 - 12 = 24
  24 x 3 = 72 - 12 = 60
  60 x 3 = 180 - 12 = 168
  168 x 3 = 504 - 12 = 492
  492 x 3 = 1476 - 12 = 1464

• next term will be 168
  8+4=12
  12+12=24
  24+36=60
  60+108=168
  here,4,12,36 are all multiple of 3,i.e 4*3=12.. 12*3=36.........
• 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(7) No(3)
• 108
  each having difference 4,12,36,48
  60+48=108
  
  
• 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(6) No(5)
• 12-8= 4 =4*1
  24-12= 12 =4*3
  60-24= 36 =4*9
  that means 4 is common and the second part in in gp series 1,3,9 then 27 so the ans is 4*27=108
• 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(5) No(1)
• 12-8=4
  24-12=12
  60-24=36
  So 4*3=12
  12*3=36
  In the same way 36*3=108

• Answer is 180
  
  options are wrong
  
  8*1.5=12
  12*2=24
  24*2.5=60
  now 60*3=180
  
• 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(4) No(4)
• Given 8,12,24,60
  So..
  8=(2^3)-0
  12=(2^4)-4
  24=(2^5)-8
  60=(2^6)-12
  108=(2^7)-16
  
  108 is correct answer...

• 8*3=24
  24-12=12
  12*3-12=24
  24*3=72
  72-12=60
  so,60*3-12=168
  
• 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(3)
• ans is : 108
  12 -8= 4*3^0
  24-12=12=4*3^1
  60-24=36 =4*3^2
  ....4 * 3^3=108
• 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(1)
• Ans : 120
  Logic : 2^3 +0 ( no addition for first term)
  2^4 - 4
  2^5 - 8
  2^6 - 4
  2^7 - 8 (120)
• 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(1)

• The series is going on like- 6+2,6+(2*3),6+(6*3),6+(18*3)... so the next will be- 6+(54*3)=168
  
• 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(1)
• difference between no is4,12,36
  i.e 4*3=12
  12*3=36
  and 36*3=108
  hence ans is 108
• 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(2)
• 168 should be the ans because 60+(60-24)x3
• 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(2)
• 8+4=12 ;

• Answer is 108.
  soln: 8*(3)=24
  12*(5)=60
  24*(7)=108
  
• 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(1)
• 108
  8+4=12,12+12=24,24+36=60,60+48=108
• 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(1)
• 108 is the answer.because the difference are multiples of 12.
• 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
• 108 as here value of r=3
• 6 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
• ANS- 108
  8-12 =4
  12-24 =12
  24-60 =36
  so observed that
  4*3=12
  12*3= 36
  so, 36*3= 108
• 4 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
• 12-8=4
  4*3 =12 (next difference)
  24-12=12
  12*3=36
  60-24=36
  36*3=108
  so ans 168
  
• 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(2)
• 12-8=4
  24-12=12(4*3)
  60-24=36(12*3)
  so 168-60=108(36*3)
  option is incorrect,right answer is 168
  
  
• 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(1)
• 12-4=4
  24-12=12----(4*3)
  60-24=36----(12*3)
  168-60=108--(36*3)
  so ans=168

• 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(1)
• 168 will be the right ans
  12-8=4
  24-12=12
  60-24=36
  we see that difference is in the order of multiple of 3.
  so, the diff b/w the next no. and 60 will be 108
  hence,the required no. is 60+108=168
  
• 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(1)
• ans- 108
  because the difference of number are (12-8)=4
  (24-12)=12
  60-24= 36
  so, 36*3= 108+60= 168
  
• 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(1)
• 8 12 24 60
  12-8=4 24-12=12 60-24=36
  4*3=12 12*3=36 therefore 36*3=108 and 168-60=108 so ans is 168

• 120
  two series 8*3=24 12*5=120
  24*5=120
  
• 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(1)
• ans is 168
  8+4 = 12
  12+(4*3) = 24
  24+(12*3) = 60
  60+(36*3) = 168
  the number being added is becoming 3 times of its previous value.
  
• 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(4)
• 12-8=4
  24-12=12 (4*3=120
  60-24=36 (12*3=36)
  x-60=? (36*3=108)
  therefore x=168
  the answer is 168
  
• 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(1)
• 8*1.5 =12
  12*2 = 24
  24*2.5 = 60
  60*3 = 180
  180*3.5 = 630
  Hence answer is 180
• 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(1)
• the answer is 108
  12-4=8
  24-12=12
  60-24=36
  then
  we get 4,12,36
  4*3=12
  12*3=36 then
  final answer is 36*3=108

  Answer is 180
• 4 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• difference of (12-8)=4
  difference of (24-12)=12
  difference of (60-24)=36
  next difference should be 108
  so, next term = 60+108=168
