Select the number that can replace the question mark (?) in the following series.

848, 969, ?, 1282, 1478

Given: 848, 969, ?, 1282, 1478

Logic: Difference of two consecutive terms is square of natural numbers starting from 11²,12²,13²,14²​

969 - 848 = 121, ? - 969, 1282 - ?, 1478 -1282 = 196

Observing the differences:

121 → ? → ? → 196

121 = 11²​

196 = 14²

If the pattern follows 11²,12²,13²,14²

12² =144

13² =169

? = 969 + 144 = 1113

Thus, the correct answer is (B) 1113.
