A series is given with one term missing. Select the correct alternative from the given ones that will complete the series.
-24, -95, -379, -1515, ?, -24235
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
-24 × 4 = -96 → -96 + 1 = -95
-95 × 4 = -380 → -380 + 1 = -379
-379 × 4 = -1516 → -1516 + 1 = -1515
-1515 × 4 = -6060 → -6060 + 1 = -6059
-6059 × 4 = -24236 → -24236 + 1 = -24235
Therefore, ? = -6059
