Correct Answer: 483


Solution : Given:
43, 51, 78, 142, 267, ?

Add cubes of the natural numbers starting from 2 to the previous numbers, to get the next number of the series –
43 + 2 3 = 43 + 8 = 51
51 + 3 3 = 51 + 27 = 78
78 + 4 3 = 78 + 64 = 142
142 + 5 3 = 142 + 125 = 267
267 + 6 3 = 267 + 216 = 483

So, 483 is the missing number. Hence, the first option is correct.
