Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option A

1935

2699

Solution :

The correct answer is 1935.

To find the next term in the series, let us calculate the difference between each consecutive pair of numbers:

335-185=150

585-335=250

935-585=350

1385-935=450

Notice the pattern in the sequence of differences (150, 250, 350, 450): each difference increases by 100 over the previous one:

250-150=100

350-250=100

450-350=100

Following this pattern, the next difference to add should be:

450+100=550

Adding this difference to the last term (1385) gives the missing number:

1385+550=1935
