Explanation:
- To find the pattern, we look at the sequence: 1, 1, ?, 15, 105, 945.
- Notice the relationships:
- \(1 \to 1\): Unchanged, multiplied by 1.
- \(1 \to ?\): Need to determine the multiplier.
- \(? \to 15\) is obtained by a certain multiplier.
- Multiply 15 by 7 to get 105.
- Multiply 105 by 9 to get 945.
- Assume the pattern involves multiplying by consecutive odd numbers: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9.
- The missing step is obtained by multiplying 1 by 3 to get 3.
- Correct Answer: Option 2, 3
