Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. The first bracketed number (from the left) is incorrect and the second is correct.

Understanding

Given series: 1, 1, 2, 6, 24, (121), 720, (5040), 40320

The logic used here is:

1 × 1 = 1

1 × 2 = 2

2 × 3 = 6

6 × 4 = 24

24 × 5 = 120

120 × 6 = 720

720 × 7 = 5040

5040 × 8 = 40320

The first bracketed number (from the left) is incorrect and the second is correct.

Hence, option 2 is the correct answer.
