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.
