Select the number from among the given options that can replace the question mark (?) in the following series.
24, 25, 33, 60, ?, 249
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 124.
Given series: 24, 25, 33, 60, ?, 249
The series follows this pattern:
24 + 13 = 24 + 1 = 25
25 + 23 = 25 + 8 = 33
33 + 33 = 33 + 27 = 60
60 + 43 = 60 + 64 = 124
124 + 53 = 124 + 125 = 249
So, the missing term in the series is 124.
