2, 6, 10, 30, 34, ?

A. 37
B. 42
C. 60

The correct answer is E.

This series alternately multiplies by 3 then adds 4 to get to the next number. Therefore, the next number in the series will be 34 X 3=102
2, 6, 10, 30, 34, 102

In the above matrix (from left to right):

Across the rows: The black stars rotate clockwise around the smiley face. The horizontal line in each box alternates between resting above or below the smiley face.

That is answer choice C.

Criteria Test Tips

Here are some helpful tips that may help your during your Criteria Test.

Do not spend too much time on any one question, skipping difficult questions is allowed.
If you find yourself stuck, guess. Guessing does not take off points and it’s certainly better than leaving a question unanswered.
Pay attention to the answer choices. Sometimes ruling out unreasonable answers can prove to be an efficient problem solving strategy.
