    Explanation

    The difference between two consecutive numbers in given series can be evaluated as: → 655 – 439 = 216 = 6 3 → 439 – 314 = 125 = 5 3 → 314 – 250 = 64 = 4 3 → 250 – 223 = 27 = 3 3 Thus it can be clearly seen that the difference between consecutive numbers makes a pattern as above. Hence the difference between next consecutive numbers = 2 3 = 8 Let next number in given series be X. Then, ⇒ 223 – X = 8 ⇒ X = 223 – 8 ⇒ X = 215. Hence the required term in given series is 215.
