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

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e 1549.

Understanding

Given series: 1537, 1539, 1543, ? , 1557, 1567

The logic used here is:

1537 + 2 = 1539

1539 + 4 = 1543

1543 +  6= 1549

1549 + 8 = 1557

1557 + 10 = 1567

The missing term in the series is 1549.

Hence, option 1 is the correct answer.
