Which of the following numbers will replace the question mark (?) in the given series?
89, 214, ?, 773, 1285, 2014
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. 430.
Given series: 89, 214, ?, 773, 1285, 2014
The series follows this pattern:
89 + 53 = 89 + 125 = 214
214 + 63 = 214 + 216 = 430
430 + 73 = 430 + 343 = 773
773 + 83 = 773 + 512 = 1285
1285 + 93 = 1285 + 729 = 2014
So, the missing term in the series is 430.
