A series is given with one term missing. Choose the correct alternative from the given ones that will complete the series.
13, 21, 48, 112, ?
- A237
- B280
- C255
- D290
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let's calculate the differences between consecutive terms:
21−13=8=2
3
48−21=27=3
3
112−48=64=4
3
Following this pattern, the next difference must be 5
3
=125.
Next term=112+125=237
21−13=8=2
3
48−21=27=3
3
112−48=64=4
3
Following this pattern, the next difference must be 5
3
=125.
Next term=112+125=237
