Which of the following numbers will replace the question mark (?) in the given series?
5, 8, 16, 19, 38, ?, 82
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. 41.
Given series: 5, 8, 16, 19, 38, ?, 82
The series follows this pattern:
5 + 3 = 8
8 × 2 = 16
16 + 3 = 19
19 × 2 = 38
38 + 3 = 41
41 × 2 = 82
So, the missing term in the series is 41.
