Which of the following numbers will replace the question marks (?) in the given series?

119, 117, 114, 109,? , 91, ?, 61

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. 102, 78.

Given series: 119, 117, 114, 109,? , 91, ?, 61

The series follows this pattern:

119 - 2 = 117

117 - 3 = 114

114 - 5 = 109

109 - 7 = 102

102 - 11 = 91

91 - 13 = 78

78 - 17 = 61

So, the next terms in the series are 102 and 78.
