Select the number from among the given options that can replace the question mark (?) in the following series.
83, 299, 424, 488, ?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. 515
Given series: 83, 299, 424, 488, ?
The series follows this pattern:
83 + 63 = 83 + 216 = 299
299 + 53 = 299 + 125 = 424
424 + 43 = 424 + 64 = 488
488 + 33 = 488 + 27 = 515
So, the next term in the series is 515.
Hence, the correct answer is 515.
