    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
