Which number will replace the question mark (?) in the following series?
11, 30, 68, 144, 296, ?
- A512
- B498
- C600
- D556
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let's look at the relation between consecutive numbers:
11×2+8=22+8=30
30×2+8=60+8=68
68×2+8=136+8=144
144×2+8=288+8=296
The common multiplier rule is (Current term×2)+8.
Applying this rule to find the missing next term:
296×2+8=592+8=600
11×2+8=22+8=30
30×2+8=60+8=68
68×2+8=136+8=144
144×2+8=288+8=296
The common multiplier rule is (Current term×2)+8.
Applying this rule to find the missing next term:
296×2+8=592+8=600
