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

5, 293, 437, 509,?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. 545.

Given series: 5, 293, 437, 509,?

The series follows this pattern:

5 + 288 = 293

293 + 144 = 437

437 + 72 = 509

509 + 36 = 545

So, the next term in the series is 545.
