Correct option is B
Let's find the pattern in the series:
36, 75, 147, 297, 591, ?
Step-by-step Pattern
Check how one term becomes the next:
36 → 75
36 × 2 = 72
72 + 3 = 75
75 → 147
75 × 2 = 150
150 – 3 = 147
147 → 297
147 × 2 = 294
294 + 3 = 297
297 → 591
297 × 2 = 594
594 – 3 = 591
Pattern Identified:
Multiply by 2, then +3, –3, +3, –3… alternately.
Next Term:
591 × 2 = 1182
Pattern says next operation = +3
1182 + 3 = 1185
Correct Answer: 1185
