What should come in place of question mark (?) in the given series?
3, 10, 24, ?, 73, 108, 150, 199
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 45.
Given series: 3, 10, 24, ?, 73, 108, 150, 199
The series follows this pattern:
3 + (7 × 1) = 10
10 + (7 × 2) = 10 + 14 = 24
24 + (7 × 3) = 24 + 21 = 45
45 + (7 × 4) = 45 + 28 = 73
73 + (7 × 5) = 73 + 35 = 108
108 + (7 × 6) = 108 + 42 = 150
150 + (7 × 7) = 150 + 49 = 199
So, the missing term in the series is 45.
