What should come in place of question mark (?) in the following number series?
132 156 ? 210 240 272
A) 196
B) 182
C) 199
D) 204
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: B) 182
Explanation:
The given series follows a logic that
11 x 12, 12 x 13, 13 x 14, 14 x 15, 15 x 16,...
So the missing number is 13 x 14 = 182
Answer:
correct answer is 182.
Given:
132 156 ? 210 240 272
To find:
missing number.
Step-by-step explanation:
132 156 ? 210 240 272
in the above sequence, we can see that
132 156 ? 210 240 272
132 ⇔ 156 {+ 24}
difference of 24 between the consecutive numbers.
156 ⇔ ?
? ⇔ 210
210 ⇔ 230 {+30}
difference of 30 between the consecutive numbers.
230 ⇔ 242 {+32}
difference of 32 between the consecutive numbers.
by observing above pattern we can predict that the difference between two consecutive number is increasing by two.
therefore,
we can predict that the difference between 156 and next number should be of 26.
156 ⇔ ? {+26}
156 + 26 = 182
we get, 182.
And the difference between 210 and previous number should be of 28.
? ⇔ 210 {+28}
182 + 28 = 210
we get, 182.
hence, the pattern is true.
therefore, option (B) is correct.
