Correct Answer :

Option A

3375

Solution :

The correct answer is 3375.

To determine the missing number that completes the sequence, let us analyze the given mathematical series:
8, 64, 512, 1000, ?, 8000, 15625

First, observe that each term in the sequence is a perfect cube of a base number:


23=8


43=64


83=512


103=1000


203=8000


253=15625

Now, let us examine the sequence formed by the base numbers:
2, 4, 8, 10, ?, 20, 25

The missing base corresponding to the unknown position is 15.

To find the missing term in the sequence, we compute the cube of 15:


153=15×15×15=3375

Therefore, the missing number in the sequence is 3375.
