SSC CPO - 23 Nov 2020 - Shift 2 • Reasoning • Q195

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

17, 37, 77, 157, 317, ?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 637.

Given series: 17, 37, 77, 157, 317, ?

The series follows the pattern:

17 + 20 = 37

37 + 40 = 77

77 + 80 = 157

157 + 160 = 317

317 + 320 = 637

So, the next term in the series is 637.
