Question

In the following question, select the missing number from the given series.
5, 19, 75, 299, 1195, ?

A.

4750

B.

4785

C.

4779

D.

4781

Correct option is C

Series: 5, 19, 75, 299, 1195, ?
(5 × 4) – 1 = 19
(19 × 4) – 1 = 75
(75 × 4) – 1 = 299
(299 × 4) – 1 = 1195
So, the pattern is: each term is multiplied by 4, then 1 is subtracted to get the next term.
Apply the Pattern to Find the Missing Term: Using the rule (previous term × 4) - 1:
Next term = (1195 × 4) – 1 = 4780 – 1 == 4779
Correct answer: (c) 4779
