Answer 2

Given:

A series of numbers 3, 16, 83, ?, 2107, 10544.

To Find:

The missing term in the series is?

Solution:

The given problem can be solved by developing a common logic between every term.

1. The given series is 3, 16, 83, ?, 2107, 10544.

2. The second term in the series is obtained as,

=> Second term = 16 = 3 x 5 + 1

3. The third term of the series is obtained as,

=>Third term = 83 = 16 x 5 + 3,

4. The sixth term of the series is obtained as,

=>Sixth term = 10544 = 2107 x 5 + 9

5. The Foruth term of the series can be obtained using similar logic,

=> Fourth term = Third term + 5,

=> Fourth term = 83 x 5 + 5 = 420.

6. The Fifth term in the series is obtained as,

=> Fifth term = 420 x 5 + 7 = 2107.

Therefore, the missing number in the series is 420. Option C is the correct answer.
