Select the number that can replace the question mark (?) in the following series.

8, 11, 15, 23, 40, 73, ?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e 131

Understanding

Given series: 8  11  15  23  40  73  ?

So 25 should be added to 33 and the resulting number is then added to 73 to get the next term in the series.

25 + 33 =58 

58 + 73 = 131 is the next term in the series.
