Correct Answer: 27


Solution : Given: 
2, 3, 8, ?, 112, 565 

Multiply and add natural numbers to find the next term.
(2 × 1) + 1 = 2 + 1 = 3;
(3 × 2) + 2 = 6 + 2 = 8;
(8 × 3) + 3 = 24 + 3 = 27;
(27 × 4) + 4 = 108 + 4 = 112;
(112 × 5) + 5 = 560 + 5 = 565

So, the missing number is 27. Hence, the third option is correct.
