The next number should be 38.
To determine which is the next number in the sequence 7-16-8-27-9- ?, the following logical reasoning must be performed:
- First, it must be taken into account that it is a collation, where the first number is related to the third, this to the fifth, and so on, while the same happens with the second with respect to the fourth, and this with the sixth, etc.
- Thus, the first, third and fifth numbers are added one by one, that is, they follow a normal pattern from 7 to 8, 8 to 9, and so on.
-
Instead, the second and fourth numbers go up by 11 numbers, increasing by one in each digit, that is, from 16 to 27. Therefore, following this pattern, the next number should be 38.
