Moumita Choudhury 9 years AGO

54-27 = 27
81-54 = 27
135 - 81 = 54
189-135 = 54 so 189 + (54*2) = 189+108 = 297.

1st Method:
-----------------
27, 54, 81, 135, 189, .......
(3)^3, (3)^3*2 , (3)^3*3, (3)^3*5, (3)^3*7.....
By multiplying 1st prime Number in (3)^3 we get 2nd term and multiplying 2nd prime number in (3)^3, we get 3rd term and so on...

So that by multiplying 11 (5th prime number) in (3)^3 we get required number (6th number of the given sequence) is (3)^3*11=297
================================================

2nd Method:
------------------
27, 54, 81, 135, 189, .......
27, 54, (27+54), (54+81), {(27+54)+2*54},....
27, 54, (27+54), (54+81), {(27+54)+2*54}, {(54+81)+2*81},....

81 = 27*3
135 = 27*5
189 = 27*7
these numbers are obtained by multiplying the number 27 with prime numbers starting from 1...if we continue like that, the next number we get will be
27*11 = 297

54-27=27
81-54=27
135-81=54(27+27)
189-135=54
189+(54+54)=297

the series consists of the number we get by multiplying 27 * prime numbers.
27*1=27
27*2=54
27*3=81
27*5=135
27*7=189
next prime number is 11, so
27*11=297
hence 297 is answer.

Because 27 are divided by prime numbers 2*27=54,3*27=81,5*27=135,7*27=189,then next prime no is 11 therefore 11*27=297

57-27=27
81-54=27
135-81=54
189-135=54
(since, 27x2=54; and 54x2=108)
thus,
189+108=297
