Which number will replace the question mark (?) in the series: 22, 23, 27, 54, 70, 195, ?

Question

Accepted Answer

Let's analyze the series: 22, 23, 27, 54, 70, 195, ?

Step 1: Look for a pattern between the numbers.

First, check the differences:
23 - 22 = 1
27 - 23 = 4
54 - 27 = 27
70 - 54 = 16
195 - 70 = 125

The differences are: 1, 4, 27, 16, 125

Step 2: Check if these differences follow a pattern.

Notice: 1 = 1^3, 4 = 2^2, 27 = 3^3, 16 = 4^2, 125 = 5^3

So, the pattern alternates between cubes and squares:
+1^3, +2^2, +3^3, +4^2, +5^3, ...

Next difference should be +6^2 = 36

Step 3: Add 36 to the last number:
195 + 36 = 231

Therefore, the answer is 231.
