Question

Find the missing term in the following number series. 2, 12, 36, 80, ?, 252, 392

A.

146

B.

150

C.

168

D.

172

Correct option is B

Given series:
2, 12, 36, 80, ?, 252, 392
Logic:
Each term follows the pattern
n × n × (n + 1)
starting from n= 1 
Explanation:
2 = 1 × 1 × 2
12 = 2 × 2 × 3
36 = 3 × 3 × 4
80 = 4 × 4 × 5
? = 5 × 5 × 6 = 150
252 = 6 × 6 × 7
392 = 7 × 7 × 8
Thus, the missing number is 150.
Thus, correct option is (B).
