Correct Answer: 362


Solution : Given:
32, 54, 98, 186, ?, 714

Multiply the previous term in the series by 2 and then subtract 10 from the resultant to get the next term of the series.
(32 × 2) – 10  = 64 – 10 = 54
(54 × 2) – 10  = 108 – 10 = 98
(98 × 2) – 10 = 196 – 10 = 186
(186 × 2) – 10 = 372 – 10 = 362
(362 × 2) – 10 = 724 – 10 = 714

So, 362 is the missing number. Hence, the third option is correct.
