EEJ MAIN Aptitude QUESTION #10981
Question 1
Observe the series: 1, 8, 27, 64, 125, ?. What comes next, and what is the pattern?
  • 216; cubes of natural numbers✔️
  • 343; cubes of prime numbers
  • 216; perfect squares
  • 196; alternating powers
Correct Answer Explanation

The series is: \(1^3, 2^3, 3^3, 4^3, 5^3\ = 1, 8, 27, 64, 125

Next term: \(6^3 = \mathbf{216}\

These are perfect cubes of natural numbers in sequence.

In architectural context: cube relationships appear in modular design (Le Corbusier's Modulor), spatial proportioning systems, and volumetric calculations of building spaces.
