Correct Answer: 457


Solution : Given:
17, 25, 52, 116, 241, ?

In the above-given series, add cubes of consecutive natural numbers –
17 + (2) 3 = 17 + 8 = 25
25 + (3) 3 = 25 + 27 = 52
52 + (4) 3 = 52 + 64 = 116
116 + (5) 3 = 116 + 125 = 241
241 + (6) 3 = 241 + 216 = 457

So, the missing number is 457. Hence, the first option is correct.
