    Question

    What comes after 6, 25, 62, 123, 214, 341, ?

    A.

    500

    B.

    513

    C.

    510

    D.

    511

    Correct option is C

    Given:

    The sequence is: 6,25,62,123,214,3416, 25, 62, 123, 214, 3416,25,62,123,214,341.

    We need to determine the next number by finding a simpler pattern.

    Solution:

    1. Calculate the differences between consecutive terms:

      25−6=19,62−25=37,123−62=61,214−123=91,341−214=127.25 - 6 = 19, \quad 62 - 25 = 37, \quad 123 - 62 = 61, \quad 214 - 123 = 91, \quad 341 - 214 = 127.25 − 19 62 − 25 37 123 − 62 61 214 − 123 91 341 − 214 127 
    2. Observe the pattern of differences:
      The differences are: 19,37,61,91,12719, 37, 61, 91, 1271937 ,61 ,91 127.
      These are increasing, and they approximately follow the pattern of +18,+24,+30,+36+18, +24, +30, +36+18,+24,+30,+36, indicating increasing differences.

    3. Find the next difference:
      The next difference should be 127+42=169127 + 42 = 169127 42 169  (increase by 42, following the pattern of incrementing by 6).

    4. Calculate the next term:
      Add this difference to the last term in the sequence:

      341+169=510.341 + 169 = 510.341 169 510
