Directions: In the following question, a number sequence is given with one term missing. Choose the correct term that will continue the same pattern and replace the question mark in the given sequence.3,10,33,104,?

Explanation

To solve the sequence, we first find the differences between consecutive terms:10 - 3 = 733 - 10 = 23104 - 33 = 71These differences are 7, 23, and 71. Next, we examine the differences between these differences:23 - 7 = 1671 - 23 = 48The differences between differences are 16 and 48, which increase by a factor of 3. Continuing this pattern, we multiply 48 by 3:48 × 3 = 144Adding 144 to the last difference (71):71 + 144 = 215Finally, adding this new difference (215) to the last term in the sequence (104):104 + 215 = 319Thus, the correct answer is 319.Other options are incorrect as they either miscalculate the pattern or the final addition.
