    Question

    What should come in place of the question mark (?) in the given series?
    105, 155, 196, 228, 251, ?

    A.

    258

    B.

    265

    C.

    280

    D.

    272

    Correct option is B

    Given: 105, 155, 196, 228, 251, ?
    Logic: The number added each time decreases by 9: 50, 41, 32, 23, and then 14.The 
    double difference decreased by 9.
    105 + 50 = 155
    155 + 41 = 196
    196 + 32 = 228
    228 + 23 = 251
    251 + 14 = 265
    So, the next number is 251 + 14 = 265.
    Thus, the correct option is (b) 265
