Question

Select the number from among the given options that can replace the question mark (?) in the following series.
36, 75, 147, 297, 591, ?

A.

1273

B.

1185

C.

1179

D.

1279

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
