Select the number from among the given options that can replace the question mark (?) in the following series.
53, 56, 50,?, 47,62
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. 59.
Given series: 53, 56, 50,?, 47,62
The series follows this pattern:
53 + 3 = 56
56 - 6 = 50
50 + 9 = 59
59 - 12 = 47
47 + 15 = 62
So, the missing term in the series is 59.
