1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, ?, 54.
1 + 2 = 3,
1 + 2 + 3=6,
3 + 6 = 9,
3 + 6 + 9 = 18,
9 + 18 = 27.
9 + 18 + 27 = 54.
1 + 2 = 3,
1 + 2 + 3=6,
3 + 6 = 9,
3 + 6 + 9 = 18,
9 + 18 = 27.
9 + 18 + 27 = 54.

2 * 9 = 18.
And 6 * 9 = 54 so,
3 * 9 = 27.
And 6 * 9 = 54 so,
3 * 9 = 27.

HERE WE CAN JUST SPLIT THE SERIES AS;
1 2 3 6
9 18 ? 54
NOW YOU CAN EASILY FIND THAT 1*9= 9.
2*9 = 18,
AND 6*9= 54 S0,
3 *9 = 27.
1 2 3 6
9 18 ? 54
NOW YOU CAN EASILY FIND THAT 1*9= 9.
2*9 = 18,
AND 6*9= 54 S0,
3 *9 = 27.

By paring alternate number we can find 2/1 = 2
6/3 = 2
18/9 = 2.
54 should be twice of a number that is =27.
So, when 54/27=2.
6/3 = 2
18/9 = 2.
54 should be twice of a number that is =27.
So, when 54/27=2.

2-1 = 1,
3-2 = 1,
6-3 = 3,
9-6 = 3,
18-9 = 9,
x-18 = 9,
x = 18 + 9 = 27.
3-2 = 1,
6-3 = 3,
9-6 = 3,
18-9 = 9,
x-18 = 9,
x = 18 + 9 = 27.

1*2 = 2.
2*1.5 = 3.
3*2 = 6.
6*1.5 = 9.
9*2 = 18.
18*1.5 = 27.
27*2 = 54.
2*1.5 = 3.
3*2 = 6.
6*1.5 = 9.
9*2 = 18.
18*1.5 = 27.
27*2 = 54.

1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18,.....,54.
Take alternate positions 2 6 18 54.
2*3=6.
6*3=18.
18*3=54.
Each multiplying with 3.
Similarly take the alternate numbers 1 3 9.
1*3=3.
3*3=9.
9*3=27.
This is also a method which holds good for many problems.

Each odd number is follow each even so in between 54 27, 18, 36 so 18 is already there 36 is not possible because near of 54 than answer is 27.
