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.

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

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.

2-1 = 1,
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.

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.

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

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

So you can easily find out.
