From the given options, select the number that can replace the question mark (?) in the following series.

9, 26, 65, 124, ?

Given: 9, 26, 65, 124, ?

Logic: Cube of natural number starting from 2 and (+1 , -1) alternate.

2³ + 1 = 9

3³ – 1 = 26

4³ + 1 = 65

5³ – 1 = 124

6³ + 1 = 216 + 1 = 217

Thus, the correct option is (c) 217
