Correct Answer :

Option C

415

Solution :

The correct answer is 415.


To find the missing term in the given number series, let us analyze the relationship and pattern between the consecutive numbers:


410, ?, 420, 425, 430, 435


First, we determine the pattern by calculating the difference between adjacent known numbers in the sequence:


425-420=5


430-425=5


435-430=5


This shows that the sequence is an arithmetic progression where each term is formed by adding 5 to the previous term.


Now, applying this addition rule to the first term (410) gives the missing value:


410+5=415


We can verify our result by adding 5 to 415 to confirm if it yields the subsequent term in the series:


415+5=420


The calculation is confirmed to be correct. Therefore, the missing term that completes the series is 415.
