Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Key insight: The sequence lists consecutive cube numbers.

  • 125 = 5^3

  • 216 = 6^3

  • 343 = 7^3

  • 512 = 8^3

  • 729 = 9^3

  • 100 (given) should be 10^3 = 1000

Explanation: All given terms follow consecutive cubes from 5^3 to 9^3, so the sixth term should be 10^3 = 1000. The provided value 100 does not equal 10^3 and therefore breaks the pattern.

Conclusion: 100 is the wrong term; it should be 1000.
