Given:

Formula used:

Observe pattern in the sequence

Calculation:

The Logic is : a(n) = a(n−1) × (n−1) + (n−1)²

Let us apply and check this:

1st term = 2

2nd term = 2×1 + 1 = 3

3rd term = 3×2 + 4 = 10

4th term = 10×3 + 9 = 39

5th term = 39×4 + 16 = 172

6th term = 172×5 + 25 = 860 + 25 = 885

∴ The correct answer is option (2).
