Which of the following numbers will replace the question mark (?) in the given series?
5, 11, 23, 47, 95, ?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 191.
Given series: 5, 11, 23, 47, 95,?
The series follows this pattern:
5 + 6 = 11
11 + (6 × 2) = 11 + 12 = 23
11 + (12 × 2) = 23 + 24 = 47
11 + (24 × 2) = 47 + 48 = 95
11 + (48 × 2) = 95 + 96 = 191
So, the next term in the series is 191.
