Select the number that will come next in the following series.
41, 47, 59, 67, 73, 83, (?)

Given: 41, 47, 59, 67, 73, 83, (?)

Logic: The given numbers in the series are the prime numbers. In the given series, one prime number is skipped between 2 prime numbers.

Like, 43 is skipped between 41 and 47, 53 is skipped between 47 and 59, 61 is skipped between 59 and 67, 71 is skipped between 67 and 73, and 79 is skipped between 73 and 83.

The next prime numbers after 83 are 87 and 97.

So, skip 87 and 97 is the missing number in the given series.

Thus, the correct answer is (c).
