Select the number from among the given options that can replace the question mark (?) in the following series.
215, 231, 256, 292, ?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 2 i.e 341.
Given number series : 215, 231, 256, 292
The pattern followed here is :
215 + 16 = 231 or 215 + 42 = 231
231 + 25 = 256 or 231 + 52 = 256
256 + 36 = 292 or 256 + 62 = 292
292 + 49 = 341 or 292 + 72 = 341
Thus, 341 will complete the series.
