    Question

    Select the number from the given options that can come next in the following series.
    1, 12, 124, 1248, 12496, _______.

    A.

    124982

    B.

    124962

    C.

    124992

    D.

    124978

    Correct option is C

    Given:
    ​1, 12, 124, 1248, 12496, _______.
    Logic: Here, twice the last of the numbers is added to the ten times the number to get the next term in the given series:
    (1 × 10) + (2 × 1) = 10 + 2 = 12
    (12 × 10) + (2 × 2) = 120 + 4 = 124
    (124 × 10) + (2 × 4) = 1240 + 8 = 1248
    (1248 × 10) + (2 × 8) = 12480 + 16 = 12496
    (12496 × 10) + (2 × 16) = 124960 + 32 = 124992
    Thus, '124992' is the next term in the given series.
