Final answer:

To find the next number in the sequence, a trend is determined based on the differences between consecutive numbers. In this case, each difference increases by 9, so adding the next sequential difference of 61 to the last number in the sequence equates to 242.

Explanation:

To find the next number in the sequence, the difference between consecutive numbers is calculated. The difference between the first two numbers (11-4 = 7), second bodies (27-11 = 16), third bodies (52-27 = 25) and then there appears to be a trend of adding 9 to the difference each step. When the difference 61 is added to 181, the next number in the sequence is then 242.

The differences are (7,16,25,34,43,52). Notice that there is a common difference of 9 between the differences. So the next difference should be 61. Hence the next number in sequence 181+61 = 242. So, 242 is the next number in the sequence.
