SSC MTS - 20 July 2022 - Shift 1 • Reasoning • Q86

Select the number from among the given options that can replace the question mark (?) in the following series.

13, 51, 205, 819, 3277, ?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 13107

Given series: 13, 51, 205, 819, 3277, ?

The logic used here is:

(13 x 4) - 1 = 51

(51 x 4) + 1 = 205

(205 x 4) - 1 = 819

(819 x 4) + 1 = 3277

Similarly, (3277 x 4) - 1 = 13107

Hence, option 2 is the correct option.
