Question
Find the missing term in the series given below.41, 65, 105, 145, 201, ? Ops: A. 252 B. 261 C. 257 D. 291
Solution
The given series is 41, 65, 105, 145, 201, ?
First, let's find the differences between consecutive terms:
65 - 41 = 24 105 - 65 = 40 145 - 105 = 40 201 - 145 = 56
The differences are not constant, so this is not an arithmetic sequence. However, we can see that the differences themselves form a pattern: 24, 40, 40, 56. The difference between 40 and 24 is 16, and the difference between 56 and 40 is 16 as well.
So, the difference between consecutive terms is increasing by 16. If we continue this pattern, the next difference should be 56 + 16 = 72.
Therefore, the missing term in the series should be 201 (the last given term) + 72 = 273.
So, the correct answer is not listed among the options A, B, C, and D. There might be a mistake in the question or the answer choices.
