SSC CHSL - 8th July 2019 - Shift 1 • Reasoning • Q94

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

25, 42, 67, 101, 145, ?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 200

Understanding Application

The difference between consecutive terms is to be observed.

25, 42, 67, 101, 145, ?

Here,

42 – 25 = 17

67 – 42 = 25

101 – 67 = 34

145 – 101 = 44

And

25 – 17 = 8

34 – 25 = 9

44 – 34 = 10

Now

44 + 11 = 55

Next term = 145 + 55 = 200
