SSC CGL - 23 Aug 2021 - Shift 1 • Reasoning • Q100

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

11, 13, 19, 49, 109, 239,?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 449.

Given series:11, 13, 19, 49, 109, 239,?

The logic used here is:

11 + (13 + 1) = 13

13 + (23 - 2) = 19

19 + (33 + 3) = 49

49 + (43 - 4) = 109

109 + (53 + 5) = 239

239 + (63 - 6) = 449

So, the next term in the series is 449.
