GATE CS 2018 QGA-5 — General Aptitude

Let us analyze the relationship between consecutive terms in the given sequence:

We can observe that each term is multiplied by a decreasing integer (starting from $6$ and decreasing by $1$ at each step) to get the next term.

Following this pattern:

• The next multiplier must be $1$: $$\text{Missing term} = 1440 \times 1 = 1440$$
• The multiplier after that must be $0$: $$\text{Next term} = 1440 \times 0 = 0$$

This perfectly matches the final term $0$ in the sequence. Therefore, the missing number is 1440.
