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

35, 51, 76, 112,?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 161.

Given series: 35, 51, 76, 112,?

The series follows this pattern:

35 + 42 = 35 + 16 = 51

51 + 52 = 51 + 25 = 76

76 + 62 = 76 + 36 = 112

112 + 72 = 112 + 49 = 161

So, the next term in the series is 161.
