Correct Answer: 848


Solution : Given:
1, 8, 29, 92, 281, ?

Multiply 7 with 3 raised to a power (which will increase with each term) and add it to the previous term to get the next term of the series –
1 + (7 × 3 0 ) = 1 + (7 × 1) = 1 + 7 = 8
8 + (7 × 3 1 ) = 8 + (7 × 3) = 8 + 21 = 29
29 + (7 × 3 2 ) = 29 + (7 × 9) = 29 + 63 = 92
92 + (7 × 3 3 ) = 92 + (7 × 27) = 92 + 189 = 281
281 + (7 × 3 4 ) = 28 + (7 × 81) = 281 + 567 = 848

So, the next term is 848. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
