Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option B

3125

3125

Solution :

The correct option is 3125.

To find the missing number in the sequence, let us analyze the pattern between consecutive numbers:

5×5=25

25×5=125

125×5=625

We can observe that each term in the sequence is obtained by multiplying the previous term by 5. Alternatively, the sequence represents consecutive powers of 5 (51=5, 52=25, 53=125, 54=625).

Following this multiplication pattern, the missing fifth term is obtained by multiplying the fourth term (625) by 5:

625×5=3125

Therefore, the missing number to complete the sequence is 3125.
