Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Key pattern: each term = previous term × position − consecutive even numbers (2, 4, 6, ...).
Term 2: 7 × 2 − 2 = 14 − 2 = 12
Term 3: 12 × 3 − 4 = 36 − 4 = 32
Term 4: 32 × 4 − 6 = 128 − 6 = 122
Term 5 (missing): 122 × 5 − 8 = 610 − 8 = 602
Term 6: 602 × 6 − 10 = 3612 − 10 = 3602
Term 7: 3602 × 7 − 12 = 25214 − 12 = 25202
Answer: 602
