Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
The series follows an alternating pattern of adding and subtracting the squares of consecutive integers: +(-1), +(4), -(9), +(16), -(25).
The differences are the squares of 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 respectively.
After subtracting 25 (from 592 to 567), the next step is to add 36 (which is 6²).
Adding 36 to 567 gives 603. Therefore, the next number in the series is 603.
