Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Answer: 11316
Explanation / Solution:
Pattern: each term is obtained by multiplying the previous term by n and then adding n, where n starts at 1 for the step from the first to the second term and increases by 1 each step.
Step 1: 13 × 1 + 1 = 14
Step 2: 14 × 2 + 2 = 30
Step 3: 30 × 3 + 3 = 93
Step 4: 93 × 4 + 4 = 376
Step 5: 376 × 5 + 5 = 1885
Step 6: 1885 × 6 + 6 = 11316
Therefore the missing number is 11316.
