Correct Answer :

Option C

607

Solution :

The correct answer is 607 (Option 607).

To find the value of ‘X’ in the given number sequence, let us analyze the pattern or relationship between consecutive terms in the series: 2, 7, 22, 67, 202, X, 1822.

Let us observe how each term is obtained from the previous term:

1st term = 2
2nd term = 2×3+1=6+1=7
3rd term = 7×3+1=21+1=22
4th term = 22×3+1=66+1=67
5th term = 67×3+1=201+1=202

As we can see, the rule for finding the next term in the sequence is to multiply the current term by 3 and then add 1.

Following this rule, we can calculate the value of X (the 6th term):

X=202×3+1

X=606+1=607

To verify our result, let us compute the last term (7th term) using X = 607:

607×3+1=1821+1=1822

Since this matches the final term given in the sequence, the pattern is correct and verified.

Therefore, the value of ‘X’ is 607.
