2, 5, 10, 17, 26, ?
To solve this problem, we need to identify the pattern followed by the given sequence: 2, 5, 10, 17, 26, ?
- First, check the differences between consecutive numbers:
- 5 - 2 = 3
- 10 - 5 = 5
- 17 - 10 = 7
- 26 - 17 = 9
- Now, observe that the differences (3, 5, 7, 9) form an arithmetic sequence with a common difference of 2.
- The next difference in this sequence would be \(9 + 2 = 11\).
- Add 11 to the last number in the original sequence (26) to find the missing number: \(26 + 11 = 37\).
Therefore, the number that should come in place of the question mark is 37.
