Question and options

Find out the missing number from the choices given.

4, 196, 16, 144, 36, 100, 64, __________
  1. 64
  2. 48
  3. 125
  4. 256

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: A - 64
Two series are interleaved. The odd-placed terms 4, 16, 36, 64 are the squares of 2, 4, 6 and 8, and the even-placed terms 196, 144, 100 are the squares of 14, 12 and 10. The next term belongs to the second series, so it is 82=648^2 = 64.
