What is the next number of the following sequence.
4, 48, 384, 2560, ......

OPtion

1) 15390
2) 18530
3) 15300
4) 18076
5) 15050
6) 16750
7) 17360
8) 15860
9) 15360
10)15450

Solution

1*4 = 4
(1+2)*4^2 = 3*16 = 48
(1+2+3)*4^3 = 6*64 = 384
(1+2+3+4)*4^4 = 10*256 = 2560
Similarly
(1+2+3+4+5)*4^5 = 15*1024 = 15360

Option 9)

Correct Option: 9 Best Solution (23)

~Sandeep~   10 years AGO

nth term = 4^n * (n(n+1)/2)
5th Term = 4^5*(5*6/2) = 4^5*15 = 15360

Surit Datta   10 years AGO

The series is like :-
4^1 * 1 = 4
4^2 * 3 = 48
4^3 * 6 = 384
4^4 * 10 = 2560
4^5 * 15 = 15360
So option 9
That's it.

[m*sqrt(n)]^2
where m = 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 i.e. next m = 2m
and n = 1, 3, 6, 10, 15 i.e next n = n+1
so [32*sqrt(15)]^2 = 15360
which is option 9)

Supriya Mondal   10 years AGO

We can write,
1st number as 4^1*1
2nd number as 4^2*3
3rd number as 4^3*6
4th number as 4^4*10
so 5th number will be 4^5*15=15360
As power of 4 increased by 1 and multiplication number increased like at first 1 then 2 then 3 and so on.
So option 9)15360 is the right answer

4, 48, 384, 2560,
4^0*1,4*4^1*3,4*4^2*6,4*4^3*10,4*4^4*10
diff between no 1,3,6 10,15 is 2,3,4,5,...
so answer is 15360

1*2^2 , 3*2^4 , 6*2^6 , 10*2^8 Is the given sequence where 1,3,6,10 are 1,1+2,1+2+3,1+2+3+4
so next is 15*2^10=15360

4=1x2^2

48=3x2^4

384=6x2^6

2560=10x2^8

So the next number is 15x2^10=15x1024=15360

4)2560=4x4x4x4x10
5)4x4x4x4x4x15=15360

4=(2^2)*1
48=(2^4)*3
384=(2^6)*6
2560=(2^8)*10
?? =(2^10)*15
----->1024*15=15360
(the multiplier 1,3,6,10,15 follow the following rule
i.e. the difference b/w consecutive term increases by 1 every time 3-1=2, 6-3=3, 10-6=4, 15-10=5)

Series is (4^1*1), (4^2*3), (4^3*6), (4^4*10), (4^5*15=15360)

tejaswi vadali   10 years AGO

4=2*2*1
48=4*4*3
384=8*8*6
2560=16*16*10
therefore next sequence should be 32*32*15 because every number is twice its previous number multiple which comes twice.
and the last digits are 1,3(1+2),6(3+3),10(6+4),15(10+5)
