Answer To Find The Missing Number In This Series 9, 20, 44, ?, 196

If you are still trying to get the answer to this, we have a hint for you, there are a few different solutions, but we have given you one of the easiest solutions here. Let us now see the solutions and its explanation.

In the series, the numbers are doubled and then added with the number 2 which is increased by 2 each time.

So the sequence is as follows;

Next number after 9 = 9 x 2 + 2 = 18 + 2 = 20;

Next number after 20 = 20 x 2 + 2 + 2 = 40 + 4 = 44;

So the missing number would be;

Next number after 44 = 44 x 2 + 4 + 2 = 88 + 6 = 94

Let’s check if that is the correct answer by seeing if it results in the last number;

Next number after 94 = 94 x 2 + 6 + 2 = 188 + 8 = 196 = equal to last number in the sequence.

Hence;

Answer = 94
