What comes next? 2, 4, 3, 6, 4, 8, ?
5
The given series is 2, 4, 3, 6, 4, 8, ?.
Grouping the terms in pairs gives (2, 4), (3, 6), (4, 8), and in every pair the second number is exactly double the first number.
Reading the first number of each pair across the series gives 2, 3, 4, so the first number of the next pair follows the same increasing sequence and becomes 5.
Hence, the answer is 5.
