Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 64.

Given series: 2, 9, 28, 64, 126, 217, 344, 513

The logic used here is:

13 + 1 = 2

23 + 1 = 9

33 + 1 = 28

43 + 1 = 65

53 + 1 = 126

63 + 1 = 217

73 + 1 = 343

83 + 1 = 513

The number that does not belong to the series is 64.

Hence, the correct answer is 64.
