Solution 1 is incorrect because it has (15 * 15) = 225. Here 15 does not belong to the prime number. Hence solution 2 is correct.

In the solution 2, the last line is written wrong. Instead of adding 30, 90 must be added to obtain the answer as 435.
The answer 375 is wrong.

Successive addition of 30 and 60 also makes a resonable result. 375 also must be answer
Om Shiv
Om Shiv 10 years ago
there should be another answer for this and it is 375
solution:
195-165=30
255-195=60
285-255=30
345-285=60
so the next no. must be 345+30=375
