Select the number from among the given options that can replace the question mark (?) in the following series.
5, 5, 15, 75, ?, 4725

  1. A
    325
  2. B
    385
  3. C
    150
  4. D
    525

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Let's evaluate the mathematical operations between consecutive terms in the series:
5×1=5

5×3=15

15×5=75

The multipliers are consecutive odd numbers: 1,3,5,…
The next multiplier must be 7:

75×7=525
Let's double-check by applying the next consecutive odd number (9) to 525:

525×9=4725
This matches the final term perfectly. Hence, the missing number is 525.
