Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Solution: The sequence is generated by taking each term x (in order) and appending x×7 and then x×7+1.
From 1: 1×7 = 7, then 1×7 + 1 = 8
From 7: 7×7 = 49, then 49 + 1 = 50
From 8: 8×7 = 56, then 56 + 1 = 57
From 49: 49×7 = 343, then 343 + 1 = 344
Therefore the next number is 344.
