Select the number from among the given options that can replace the question mark (?) in the following series.
58, 179, ?, 492, 688
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 323.
Given series: 58, 179, ?, 492, 688
The series follows this pattern:
58 + 112 = 58 + 121 = 179
179 + 122 = 179 + 144 = 323
323 + 132 = 323 + 169 = 492
492 + 142 = 492 + 196 = 688
So, the next term in the series is 323.
