SSC CPO - 23 Nov 2020 - Shift 2 • Reasoning • Q188

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

58, 59, 51, 78 14 , ?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 139.

Given series: 58, 59, 51, 78 14 , ?

The series follows the pattern:

58 + 13 = 59

59 - 23 = 59 - 8 = 51

51 + 33 = 51 + 27 = 78

78 - 43 = 78 - 64 = 14

14 + 53 = 14 + 125 = 139

So, the next term in the series is 139.
