Solution

The pattern in this sequence is that each term increases by an increment that is one greater than the increment of the previous term.

Here's how:

  • The difference between 5 and 2 is 3.
  • The difference between 9 and 5 is 4.
  • The difference between 14 and 9 is 5.
  • The difference between 20 and 14 is 6.

So, the next difference should be 7.

Adding 7 to the last term (20) gives us 27.

So, the next term in the sequence is 27.
