Question

Select the missing number from the given alternative.

 2, 12, 36, ?, 150, 252
1. 90
2. 81
3. 80
4. 86

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 3 : 80

The logic is as follows:

1³ + 1² = 1 + 1 = 2

2³ + 2² = 8 + 4 = 12

3³ + 3² = 27 + 9 = 36

4³ + 4² = 64 + 16 = 80

5³ + 5² = 125 + 25 = 150

6³ + 6² = 216 + 36 = 252

Hence, the missing term is 80.
