Question

What comes next: 0, 6, 24, 60, 120 ?

• A. 196
• B. 156
• C. 210
• D. 200

Answer 1

Answer:

C. 210

Observe the pattern:

$0,\ 6,\ 24,\ 60,\ 120,\ ?$

These follow:

$n^3 - n$

Check:

$1^3-1 = 0$
$2^3-2 = 6$
$3^3-3 = 24$
$4^3-4 = 60$
$5^3-5 = 120$

Next term:

$6^3-6 = 216-6 = 210$

Therefore, the next number is:

$\boxed{210}$
