In the following question, select the missing number from the given series.
12, 24, 72, 288, 1440, ?

Given: 12, 24, 72, 288, 1440, ?​

Logic: Number is multiply by natural numbers starting from 2.

12 $$\times$$ 2 = 24​

24 $$\times$$​ 3 = 72

72 $$\times$$ 4 = 288

288 $$\times$$​ 5 = 1440

1440 $$\times$$​ 6 = 8640

So, the missing term is 8640.

Thus, correct option is (c).
