Can you see a pattern in the series below?

What comes next in the sequence?

2, 9, 30, 93, ??

Answer:

The sequence follows the following logic;

(n x 3) + 3 = next number in series.

Applying this to the given series of numbers;

2 x 3 + 3 = 9;

9 x 3 + 3 = 30

30 x 3 + 3 = 93

So the next number will be;

93 x 3 + 3 = 282.

Answer = 282.
