Which of the following numbers will replace the question mark (?) in the given series?
8, 9, 64, 25, 216, ?

8, 9, 64, 25, 216, ?

Logic: The logic follows an alternating pattern of cube and square.

8 = 2³, 9 = 3², 64 = 4³, 25 = 5², 216 = 6³

So, the last number follows the square pattern: 7² = 49

The missing number should be: 49

Thus, the correct option is: (c)
