Select the number from among the given options that can replace the question mark
(?) in the following series.
14, 29, 57, 115, 229,?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 459.
The logic used here is:
14, 29, 57, 115, 229,?
(14 × 2) + 1 = 29
(29 × 2) - 1 = 57
(57 × 2) + 1 = 115
(115 × 2) - 1 = 229
(229 × 2) + 1 = 459
Hence, option 4 is the correct answer.
