Correct Answer :

Option C

2085

Solution :

To find the number that replaces the question mark (?) in the series, let's analyze the pattern between consecutive terms of the given series:
12, 13, 30, 99, 412, ?

Let's check the relationship between each consecutive term:
From 12 to 13:
12×1+1=13

From 13 to 30:
13×2+4=30 (which is 13×2+22=30)

From 30 to 99:
30×3+9=99 (which is 30×3+32=99)

From 99 to 412:
99×4+16=412 (which is 99×4+42=412)

Following this pattern, the next term is obtained by multiplying the current term by 5 and adding 52 (25):
412×5+52=2060+25=2085

Therefore, the missing number in the series is 2085.
