Question

What is the missing number in the sequence shown below? 1 - 8 - 27 - ? - 125 - 216?

Answer 1

Given, the number sequence is 1, 8, and 27, 125 will come next.

As we see it is seen that the numbers are the cube of the natural digit numbers which is 1x1x1=1, 2x2x2=8, 3x3x3=27, therefore it will be 5x5x5=125

But missing is the cube root of 4 i.e. 4x4x4= 64. So ideally it should be 64, but depending on the options it could be 125.
