Correct option is B
Given:
Number series:
0, 7, 26, 63, 124, …
We are to find which among the given options continues the pattern in this series.
Options:
A. 344
B. 511
C. 215
D. 730
Concept:
Let’s look at the pattern in the series:
Try to observe the relation with cubes:
1³ – 1 = 1 – 1 = 0
2³ – 1 = 8 – 1 = 7
3³ – 1 = 27 – 1 = 26
4³ – 1 = 64 – 1 = 63
5³ – 1 = 125 – 1 = 124
6³ – 1 = 216 – 1 = 215
7³ – 1 = 343 – 1 = 342
8³ – 1 = 512 – 1 = 511
9³ – 1 = 729 – 1 = 728
So the series follows the pattern:
n³ – 1, where n = 1, 2, 3, ...
Solution:
Now match the options:
A. 344 (not of the form n³ – 1)
B. 511 (8³ – 1)
C. 215 (6³ – 1)
D. 730 (does not match the pattern)
Final Answer:
Options B (511) and C (215)
