Question

What should come in place of the question mark (?) in the given series? 162 184 206 228 250?

• A. 262
• B. 272
• C. 277
• D. 284

Answer 1

Answer:

B. 272

Series:

162, 184, 206, 228, 250, ?

Find the difference:

• 184 − 162 = 22

• 206 − 184 = 22

• 228 − 206 = 22

• 250 − 228 = 22

So the pattern is +22 each time.

Next term:

250 + 22 = 272

Answer: 272
