In the series 4, 8, 16, 32, what is the next number?

The correct answer is: 64

The series provided is 4, 8, 16, 32, and it follows a clear pattern in which each number is multiplied by 2 to obtain the next number. Starting with 4: - 4 multiplied by 2 gives you 8. - 8 multiplied by 2 gives you 16. - 16 multiplied by 2 gives you 32. Continuing this pattern, the next number would be 32 multiplied by 2, which equals 64. Therefore, the next number in the series is 64. This consistent doubling of each preceding number confirms the answer, making it clear why 64 is the correct choice. The other options do not fit the established pattern of multiplication by 2, which is why they are not the correct answers.
