Growing Number Pattern

In a growing number pa ern, the pa ern grows due to the addi on of a new number
or an element to the already exis ng number pa ern. Let’s consider some examples to

understand this.
Example 3: Find the next number or element of the following pa erns and write the rule.

(a) 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, (b) 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64,

Solu on: (a) In the given number pa ern, we can see that the numbers are arranged
in an increasing order. The rule followed in this pa ern is to start from
24 and add 6 each me to the previous number or the sum obtained.

24 30 36 42 48 54 _____

+6 +6 +6 +6 +6 +6

Therefore, the required number in the given number pa ern is 54 + 6 = 60.
