Answer 2

Given:

Series: 132 , 156 , ? , 210 , 240 ,272

To find:

The missing term

Solution:

The required term is 182.

We can calculate the missing term by obtaining a pattern that is followed in the series.

Let the required term be X.

Now, we see that the difference between two consecutive terms increases by 2.

The difference between 156 and 132=24

Similarly, the difference between 240 and 210=30

The difference between 272 and 240=32.

So, the difference between X and 156=X-156=24+2

X-156=26

X=156+26

X=182

Now, the difference between 210 and 182=26+2=28.

So, the value of X is correct.

Therefore, the required term is 182.
