Which of the following numbers will replace the question mark (?) in the given series?
199, 211, 196, ?, 193, 217
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. 214
Given series:
199, 211, 196, ?, 193, 217
Logic:
1st, 3rd, and 5th numbers are differ by 3 i.e
199 - 3 = 196, 196 - 3 = 193
Similarly, the relation between the 2nd, 4th, and 6th numbers is
211 + 3 = 214, 214 + 3 = 217
So, 214 will complete the series.
Hence, 214 is the correct answer.
