14, 15, 24, 49, 98, 179,?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 300.
Given series: 14, 15, 24, 49, 98, 179,?
The series follows this pattern:
14 + 12 = 14 + 1 = 15
15 + 32 = 15 + 9 = 24
24 + 52 = 24 + 25 = 49
49 + 72 = 49 + 49 = 98
98 + 92 = 98 + 81 = 179
179 + 112 = 179 + 121 = 300
So, the next term in the series is 300.
