Question : Directions: Select the number from among the given options that can replace the question mark (?) in the following series.
17, 25, 52, 116, 241, ?
Option 1: 457
Option 2: 467
Option 3: 461
Option 4: 447
Answer (1)
Correct Answer: 457
Solution : Given:
17, 25, 52, 116, 241, ?
In the above-given series, add cubes of consecutive natural numbers –
17 + (2)3 = 17 + 8 = 25
25 + (3)3 = 25 + 27 = 52
52 + (4)3 = 52 + 64 = 116
116 + (5)3 = 116 + 125 = 241
241 + (6)3 = 241 + 216 = 457
So, the missing number is 457. Hence, the first option is correct.
