What will be the next number in the following series?Q1) 2,4,3,9,4,16,5,25,?,?

The pattern in the series is alternating between adding 1 and squaring the previous number.

Starting with 2, the next number is 2 squared (4). Then, add 1 to 2 to get 3. The next number is 3 squared (9). Add 1 to 3 to get 4. The next number is 4 squared (16). Add 1 to 4 to get 5. The next number is 5 squared (25).

Following this pattern, the next number would be 5+1=6. The number after that would be 6 squared (36).

So, the next numbers in the series are 6 and 36.
