Next term of the sequence 1,3,9,27,81,...?
You can see that each term is getting three times its initial term. Upon dividing the each term by its previous term, it can be seen clearly (9/3 = 3 and 27/9 = 3).
Or
We can say that the given sequence is a part of a geometric progression with first term as 1 and common ratio as 3.
Hence, the required term will be three times the number 81 i.e., the required number is 81*3 = 243.
