Question

Q. Consider the number series given below $6,14,24,\_,50.$ What is the most likely option to fill in the missing term?

• A.
  28
• B.
  32
• C.
  36
• D.
  44

Answer 1

The correct option is C

36

Method 1:

6 --- 14 --- 24 --- 36 --- 50

$+8+10+12+14$

$6+8=14,14+10=24,24+12=36,36+14=50$

Method 2:

The series is
$\to (5\times 1)+1^2,(5\times 2)+2^2,(5\times 3)+3^2,(5\times 4)+4^2$

So, the missing term will be $(5\times 4)+4^2=36$
