NIMCET 2025 — Reasoning PYQ

1. Pattern Identification:

The sequence follows a multiplication pattern where the multiplier itself changes in a specific ratio or the terms are related to the final product.

2. Calculation Steps:

To reach 216, the multiplier for the 4th term must be $3$:

• $3\times 2=6$

• $6\times 3=18$

• $18\times 4=72$

• $72\times 3=216$

3. Verification of the Final Term:

If the missing number is $216$, let's check the next step to get $432$:

4. The Complete Pattern:

The multipliers used are $2,3,4,3,2$ (a symmetrical pattern).

• $3\times 2=6$

• $6\times 3=18$

• $18\times 4=72$

• $72\times 3=216$

• $216\times 2=432$

Correct Option: (d)
