- D.
None
240
Explanation
Solution:
The pattern follows a descending division rule from right to left or a specific division factor from left to right. Let's analyze the series from the right side:
-
2×5=10
-
10×4=40
-
40×3=120
Following this logic from left to right:
-
120×2=240
-
240×1=240
Let's verify by dividing from the start:
-
240÷1=240
-
240÷2=120
-
120÷3=40
-
40÷4=10
-
10÷5=2
The missing number is 240.
Correct Option: (b) 240
