D Correct answer
Explanation

The sequence follows the pattern √n × 1000. 1000 = √1 × 1000, 1414 ≈ √2 × 1000, 1732 ≈ √3 × 1000, 2000 = √4 × 1000, 2236 ≈ √5 × 1000. The next term is √6 × 1000 ≈ 2449.

AI explanation

To find the missing number in the given sequence, let's examine the differences between consecutive numbers:

1414 - 1000 = 414 1732 - 1414 = 318 2000 - 1732 = 268 2236 - 2000 = 236

Notice that the differences are decreasing by 96 each time.

To find the next difference, we subtract 96 from the previous difference: 236 - 96 = 140

Now, we can find the missing number by adding this difference to the last number in the sequence: 2236 + 140 = 2376

Therefore, the missing number in the sequence is 2376.

Looking at the options:

A. 3000 - This option is incorrect because it does not follow the pattern in the given sequence. B. 2441 - This option is incorrect because it does not follow the pattern in the given sequence. C. 2892 - This option is incorrect because it does not follow the pattern in the given sequence. D. 2449 - This option is correct because it follows the pattern in the given sequence.

The correct answer is D.
