Select the number from among the given options that can replace the question mark (?) in the following series.

3, 8, 18, 33, 53, ?

Given: 3, 8, 18, 33, 53, ?

Logic: Series is increasing by 5, 10, 15, 20,25......

3 + 5 = 8

8 + 10 = 18

18 + 15 = 33

33 + 20 = 53

Next term will be: 

53 + 25 = 78

Thus, the correct answer is (d) 78.
