Correct Answer: 216


Solution : Given:
6, 24, 54, 96, 150, ?

Multiply 6 with the square of consecutive numbers, starting from 1 to obtain the numbers of the series –
6 × (1)2 = 6 × 1 = 6; 6 × (2)2 = 6 × 4 = 24; 6 × (3)2 = 6 × 9 = 54; 6 × (4)2 = 6 × 16 = 96; 6 × (5)2 = 6 × 25 = 150; 6 × (6)2 = 6 × 36 = 216

So, 216 is the missing number. Hence, the first option is correct.
