Read Solution (Total 5)
-
- d
the difference between 309-93=216
the difference between 434-309=125
and so on... the difference series would be 216,125,64,23,12
and 216=6*6*6
125=5*5*5*
64=4*4*4
but 23 doesnot fit acording to this sequence so the answer would be 521 - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(11) No(0)
- Answer is D.
93 + 6^3 = 309
309 + 5^3 = 434
434 + 4^3 = 498
498 + 3^3 = 525 (not 521)
525 + 2^3 = 533 - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(7) No(2)
- 309-93=216=6^3
434-309=125=5^3
498-434=64=4^3
521-498=27=3^3
533-521=12 ( 12 is not a perfect cube )
Therefore the 521 is wrong.
It must be 498 + 3^3 = 498 + 27 = 525
Therefore the answer is D. 521 - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(6) No(1)
- 309-93=216=6^3
434-309=125=5^3
498-434=64=4^3
525-498=27=3^3
533-525=8=2^3
D) ans - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(3) No(1)
- Among the options 521 is prime
- 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
