Correct Answer :

Option E

818

Solution :

To find the missing number in the series, let us first calculate the differences between consecutive terms:
First term = 213
Second term = 218
Third term = 233
Fourth term = 278
Fifth term = 413

Let us find the differences:

218-213=5

233-218=15

278-233=45

413-278=135

Now, let us analyze the pattern in these differences:
5, 15, 45, 135

We can observe that each successive difference is multiplied by 3:

5×3=15

15×3=45

45×3=135

Following this pattern, the next difference in the series will be:

135×3=405

To find the missing number, we add this difference to the last given term (413):

413+405=818

Therefore, the correct missing number in the series is 818.
