Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 1 i.e 287.

Understanding

Given series: 11, 12, 36, 41, ? , 296

The logic used here is:

11 + 1 = 12

12 × 3 = 36

36 + 5 = 41

41 × 7 = 287

287 + 9 = 296

The next term in the series is 41 × 7 = 287

Hence, option 1 is the correct answer.
