The next term is 100.
Given: The series is 324, 256, 196, 144.
To find: We have to find the next term.
Solution:
The series is 324, 256, 196, 144.
The series follows a specific pattern.
324 is a square of 18.
256 is a square of 16.
196 is the square of 14.
144 is the square of 12.
Thus there is a gap of 2 between the numbers as like 18 and 16, 16 and 14, 14 and 12.
Thus the next term is 10.
The next term of the series is a square of 10 that is 100.
