Select the number from among the given options that can replace the question mark (?) in the following series.
6, 7, 23, 41, 125,?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 245.
Given series: 6, 7, 23, 41, 125,?
The series follows the pattern:
6 × 2 - 5 = 7
7 × 3 + 2 = 23
23 × 2 - 5 = 41
41 × 3 + 2 = 125
125 × 2 -5 = 245
So, the next term in the series is 245.
