Select the number from among the given options that can replace the question mark (?) in the following series.
4, 5, 13, 22, 86, 111,?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 327.
Given series: 4, 5, 13, 22, 86, 111,?
The series follows this pattern:
4 + 12 = 4 + 1 = 5
5 + 23 = 5 + 8 = 13
13 + 32 = 13 + 9 = 22
22 + 43 = 22+ 64 = 86
86 + 52 = 86 + 25 = 1114
111 + 63 = 111 + 216 = 327
So, the next term in the series is 327.
