Answer : Option C
Numbers are 12, 22, 32, 42, 52, 62, 72.
So, the next number is 82 = 64.
2, 4, 12, 48, 240, (....)

Go on multiplying the given numbers by 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
So, the correct next number is 1440.
8, 7, 11, 12, 14, 17, 17, 22, (....)
27

72
Numbers are alternatively multiplied by 3 and divided by 2.
So, the next number = 54 ÷ 2 = 27.
2, 6, 12, 20, 30, 42, 56, (....)
61
70
The pattern is 1 x 2, 2 x 3, 3 x 4, 4 x 5, 5 x 6, 6 x 7, 7 x 8.
So, the next number is 8 x 9 = 72.
4, -8, 16, -32, 64, (....)
128
-128
192
-192
Each number is the proceeding number multiplied by -2.
So, the required number is -128.
7, 26, 63, 124, 215, 342, (....)

511
391
421
Numbers are (23 - 1), (33 - 1), (43 - 1), (53 - 1), (63 - 1), (73 - 1) etc.
So, the next number is (83 - 1) = (512 - 1) = 511.
5, 10, 13, 26, 29, 58, 61, (....)
122
125
Numbers are alternatively multiplied by 2 and increased by 3.
So, the missing number = 61 x 2 = 122.
15, 31, 63, 127, 255, (....)
513
517
Each number is double the preceding one plus 1.
So, the next number is (255 x 2) + 1 = 511.
1, 8, 27, 64, 125, 216, (....)
354
343
392
245
Numbers are 13, 23, 33, 43, 53, 63.
So, the missing number is 73 = 343.
3, 7, 6, 5, 9, 3, 12, 1, 15, (....)

-1
3
There are two series, beginning respectively with 3 and 7. In one 3 is added and in another 2 is subtracted.
The next number is 1 - 2 = -1.
