4) 389
5) 462
6) 434
7) 398
8) 407
9) 400
10)None of these

Solution

226
226+(2*2*6+1) = 226+(24+1) = 226+25 = 251
251+(2*5*1+1) = 251+(10+1) = 251+11 = 262
262+(2*6*2+1) = 262+(24+1) = 262+25 = 287
Similarly
287+(2*8*7+1) = 287+(112+1) = 287+113 = 400

2*2*6 + 1 = 25 ... add in first number 226 +25 =251
2*5*1 + 1 = 11 ... add in 2nd number 251 +11 =262
similarly
2*8*7 + 1 = 113.. add in last number 287 +113=400
ans is 400. (9th)

Multiply each digits of the number with each other and add 1 to it and then add this number to previous number to get the next number
226=2*2*6=24=24+1=25
Now 226+25=251

251=2*5*1=10=10+1=11
251+11=262

262=2*6*2=24=24+1=25
262+25=287

287=2*8*7=112=112+1=113
287+113=400

Ac to sequence, The next term will be 400

As, 226 = 2*2*6 = 24 + 1 = 25 + 226 = 251

251 = 2*5*1 = 10 + 1 = 11 + 251 = 261

similarly, 287 = 2*8*7 = 112 + 1 = 113 + 287 = 400.
