Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
1. Analyze the given series to find the hidden mathematical pattern between consecutive terms. 2. The pattern follows: 1st term x 3 - 1 = 2nd term (10 x 3 - 1 = 29), then 29 x 3 - 2 = 85, and 85 x 3 - 3 = 252. 3. Apply the same logic for the next term: multiply the last term by 3 and subtract 4. Thus, 252 x 3 - 4 = 756 - 4 = 752. Final Answer: Option C
