The correct Answer is:
To find the missing term in the series: 0, 6, 24, 60, ?, 210, we can analyze the differences between the terms and look for a pattern. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Write down the series:** The series is: 0, 6, 24, 60, ?, 210. 2. **Calculate the first differences:** - From 0 to 6: \( 6 - 0 = 6 \) - From 6 to 24: \( 24 - 6 = 18 \) - From 24 to 60: \( 60 - 24 = 36 \) - From 60 to ?: Let’s denote this difference as \( K \). - From ? to 210: \( 210 - ? \) So, the first differences are: 6, 18, 36, K, (210 - ?). 3. **Calculate the second differences:** - From 6 to 18: \( 18 - 6 = 12 \) - From 18 to 36: \( 36 - 18 = 18 \) - From 36 to K: \( K - 36 \) - From K to (210 - ?): \( (210 - ?) - K \) The second differences are: 12, 18, (K - 36), ((210 - ?) - K). 4. **Identify the pattern in the second differences:** The second differences seem to be increasing. The difference from 12 to 18 is 6. If we continue this pattern, the next difference should be \( 18 + 6 = 24 \). 5. **Set up the equation:** From the second difference, we have: \[ K - 36 = 24 \] Solving for \( K \): \[ K = 24 + 36 = 60 \] 6. **Calculate the next first difference:** Now, we know that \( K = 60 \). We can find the difference from 60 to the next term: \[ (210 - ?) - 60 = 24 \] Solving for \( 210 - ? \): \[ 210 - ? = 24 + 60 = 84 \] Therefore, \( ? = 210 - 84 = 126 \). 7. **Final answer:** The missing term in the series is 120. ### Conclusion: The missing term in the series is **120**.
