Number series – add a constant 111 each time: 231, 342, 453, 564, ? Find the next term by continuing the fixed increment.

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: 675

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
Here the series grows by a fixed amount, +111, per step. Sequences that use “repeated 1s” as a difference are a common exam trope and quick to compute.



Given Data / Assumptions:

  • 231→342 (+111), 342→453 (+111), 453→564 (+111).


Concept / Approach:
Apply the same increment.



Step-by-Step Solution:

564 + 111 = 675.


Verification / Alternative check:
The linearity holds across all steps; reversing would bring 675 back to 564 via −111.



Why Other Options Are Wrong:

576, 475, 567 fail the +111 rule.


Common Pitfalls:
Overcomplicating with multiplicative guesses; always check for fixed differences first.



Final Answer:
675
