Add natural numbers starting from 1 and their cube to get the next term of the series –
? + {(1)
3
+ 1} = ? – {1 + 1} = 5 – 2 = 3
5 + {(2)
3
+ 2} = 5 + {8 + 2} = 15
15 + {(3)
3
+ 3} = 15 + {27 + 3} = 45
45 + {(4)
3
+ 4} = 45 + {64 + 4} = 113
So, the required missing term is 3. Hence, the third option is correct.
