Find the missing term: 2, 12, 36, 80, 150, ?

Answer: Option C

The given series is a triangular pattern series.
So, we have
2       12       36       80     150     ?
     10       24       44       70
         14        20      26
              6           6
So, missing term
= 150 + (70 + 26 + 6)
= 150 + 102
= 252
