SSC CPO - 23 Nov 2020 - Shift 1 • Reasoning • Q200

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

17, 51, 58, 116, 123, 123, ?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 130.

Given series: 17, 51, 58, 116, 123, 123, ?

The series follows the pattern:

17 × 3 = 51

51 + 7 = 58

58 × 2 = 116

116 + 7 = 123

123 × 1 = 123

123 + 7 = 130

So, the next term in the series is 130.
