In the following question, select the missing number from the given series.
68, 69, 77, 104, 168,?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 293.
Given series: 68, 69, 77, 104, 168,?
The series follows this pattern:
68 + 13 = 68 + 1 = 69
69 + 23 = 69 + 8 = 77
77 + 33 = 77 + 27 = 104
104 + 43 = 104 + 64 = 168
168 + 53 = 168 + 125 = 293
So, the next term in the series is 293.
Hence, the correct answer is 293.
