Detailed Solution & Explanation

We are given the series: 7,26,63,124,215,342,…\displaystyle 7, 26, 63, 124, 215, 342, \dots
Let's analyze each term in relation to perfect cubes:
- 7=23−1\displaystyle 7 = 2^3 - 1
- 26=33−1\displaystyle 26 = 3^3 - 1
- 63=43−1\displaystyle 63 = 4^3 - 1
- 124=53−1\displaystyle 124 = 5^3 - 1
- 215=63−1\displaystyle 215 = 6^3 - 1
- 342=73−1\displaystyle 342 = 7^3 - 1
The terms are of the form n3−1\displaystyle n^3 - 1 for consecutive natural numbers starting from 2\displaystyle 2.
The next term in the series must be 83−1\displaystyle 8^3 - 1:
83−1=512−1=5118^3 - 1 = 512 - 1 = 511
Hence, **Option A** is the correct answer.
