Answer

Multiply each number by 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 and (finally) 7.
24. What comes next in the series?
 
Answer
16
Each number reverses the previous number and adds 1 to each digit. Thus, in the first two terms, 16 reversed is 61, which then changes to 72. In the penultimate term, 50 reversed becomes 05, which in turn becomes 16 - by adding 1 to each digit.
