Correct Answer: 62


Solution : Given:
28, 30, ?, 188, 754, 3772

Multiply the number by consecutive natural number and add 2 to the resultant, to get the required missing number –
(28 × 1) + 2 = 28 + 2 = 30
(30 × 2) + 2 = 60 + 2 = 62 
(62 × 3) + 2 = 186 + 2 = 188
(188 × 4) + 2 = 752 + 2 = 754 
(754 × 5) + 2 = 3770 + 2 = 3772

So, 62 is the required missing number in the series. Hence, the second option is correct.
