Select the number from among the given options that can replace the question mark (?) in the following series.
17, 16, 32, 29, 116, ?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 111.
Given series: 17, 16, 32, 29, 116, ?
The series follows this pattern:
17 - 1 = 16
16 × 2 = 32
32 - 3 = 29
29 × 4 = 116
116 - 5 = 111
So, the next term in the series is 111.
