SSC CPO - 10 Nov 2022 - Shift 3 • Reasoning • Q152

Which of the following numbers will replace the question mark (?) and complete the given number series?

35, 36, 39, 48,?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 75.

Given series: 35, 36, 39, 48,?

The series follows this pattern:

35 + 1 = 36

36 + (1 × 3) = 36 + 3 = 39

39 + (3 × 3) = 39 + 9 = 48

48 + (9 × 3) = 48 + 27 = 75

So, the next term in the series is 75.
