What should come in place of question mark (?) in the given series?

Series:

10, 26, 74, 154, 266, ?

Find pattern:

$10 = 2^3 + 2$

$26 = 3^3 - 1$

This seems inconsistent, so check differences:

$26 - 10 = 16$

$74 - 26 = 48$

$154 - 74 = 80$

$266 - 154 = 112$

Differences form a pattern:

$16, 48, 80, 112$

Each difference increases by $32$.

Next difference:

$112 + 32 = 144$

So next term:

$266 + 144 = 410$

Correct Answer: 410
