What is the value of X in the sequence 4, 8, 32, 192, 1536, 15360, X ?

  • A.184313
  • B.184320
  • C.184321
  • D.184327

Answer: B

X is 184320.

Each term is the previous one multiplied by the next even number: \(4 \times 2 = 8\), \(8 \times 4 = 32\), \(32 \times 6 = 192\), \(192 \times 8 = 1536\), \(1536 \times 10 = 15360\).

\[ X = 15360 \times 12 = 184320 \]

The other options differ from 184320 by small amounts (−7, +1, +7) and are there to catch arithmetic slips. 184320 is also the only one divisible by 15360's factor 10, a fast check since every term after 15360 must end in 0.
