Hi there,

If we see the pattern between the numbers

336 = 7³ - 7

210 = 6³ - 6

120 = 5³ -5

60 = 4³ - 4

24 = 3³ - 3

So, the next number will be

= 2³ - 2

= 8 - 2

= 6

So, the answer is option 2) 6.

Hello, The correct option is 2) 6.

The logic for this sequence is the formula n³ - n. The series starts with n=7 and moves downwards.

336 = 7³ - 7 = (343 - 7)
210 = 6³ - 6 = (216 - 6)
120 = 5³ - 5 = (125 - 5)
60 = 4³ - 4 = (64 - 4)
24 = 3³ - 3 = (27 - 3)
Following this pattern, the next term must be:
? = 2³ - 2 = (8 - 2) = 6
