SSC Stenographer - 18 Nov 2022 - Shift 1 • Reasoning • Q183

Which of the following numbers will replace the question mark (?) in the given series?

420, 462, 506, ?, 600, 650, 702

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

 The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 552.

Given series: 420, 462, 506, ?, 600, 650, 702

The series follows this pattern:

420 + 42 = 462

462 + 44 = 506

506 + 46 = 552

552 + 48 = 600

600 + 50 = 650

650 + 52 = 702

So, the missing term in the series is 552.
