- To solve the sequence, examine the differences and patterns between numbers.

- 48 to 50: Difference of 2.

- 50 to 54: Difference of 4.

- 54 to 66: Difference of 12.

- 66 to 114: Difference of 48.

- The differences are increasing: 2, 4, 12, 48.

- Notice that these differences (2, 4, 12, 48) are results of multiplying by 2, 3, 4 on each step: (2), (2x2=4), (4x3=12), (12x4=48).

- The next difference should be 48 x 5 = 240.

- Add 240 to the last number, 114 + 240 = 354.

- 354 is the next number in the sequence.

- Option:3 - 354 is the correct answer.
