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

1, 2, 4, 7, 13, 24, 44, ?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e 81.

Understanding

Given series: 1, 2, 4, 7, 13, 24, 44, ?

The series follows the pattern:

1 + 2 + 4 = 7

2 + 4 + 7 =13

4 + 7 + 13 = 24

7 + 13 + 24 = 44

13 + 24 + 44 =81

So the missing term is 81.
