A series is given with one term missing. Choose the correct alternative from the given ones that will complete the series.
130, 450, 970, 1690, ?
- A6210
- B2601
- C2600
- D2610
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let us look at the differences between the consecutive terms of the given progression:
450−130=320
970−450=520
1690−970=720
Now, analyze the pattern of the differences:
520−320=200
720−520=200
The difference increases uniformly by 200 each step. Thus, the next difference value should be:
720+200=920
Adding this difference value to the final listed term of the sequence:
Missing term=1690+920=2610
450−130=320
970−450=520
1690−970=720
Now, analyze the pattern of the differences:
520−320=200
720−520=200
The difference increases uniformly by 200 each step. Thus, the next difference value should be:
720+200=920
Adding this difference value to the final listed term of the sequence:
Missing term=1690+920=2610
