Directions: Select the missing number to complete the following numerical series:
3, 12, 60, 360, ?
Correct Answer :
2520
Solution :
The correct option is 2520.
To find the missing number in the given numerical series, let us analyze the mathematical pattern between consecutive terms:
Notice that each number in the series is obtained by multiplying the previous number by consecutive integers starting from 4 (i.e., ×4, ×5, ×6, ...).
Following this pattern, the next multiplier must be 7. Therefore, to get the missing term, we multiply 360 by 7:
Thus, the missing number to complete the series is 2520.
