SSC CPO 2020 PYQ — Question 200

SSC CPO - 23 Nov 2020 - Shift 2 • Reasoning • Q200

Which number will replace the question mark(?) in the following series? 

37, ?, 61, 78, 97, 120, 149

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 48.

Given series: 37, ?, 61, 78, 97, 120, 149

The series follows the pattern:

37 + 11 = 48

48 + 13 = 61

61 + 17 = 78

78 + 19 = 97

97  + 23 = 120

120 + 29 = 149

So, the missing term in the series is 48.
