Answer 1

The correct option is A

$48$

Find the missing number:

Given pattern, $4,18,?,100,180,294,448$.

The pattern of the given series of numbers is as shown.

$2^3–2^2=4$

$3^3–3^2=18$

$5^3–5^2=100$

$6^3–6^2=180$

$7^3–7^2=294$

$8^3–8^2=448$

So, the missing number is $4^3–4^2=48$.

Hence, option (A) is the correct answer.
