What should come in place of the question mark (?) in the given series?

16, 37, 79, 142, 226, ?

Given: 16, 37, 79, 142, 226, ?

Logic: Difference is multiple of 21.

16 + (21 $$\times$$ 1) = 16 + 21 = 37

37 + (21 $$\times$$ 2) = 37 + 42 = 79

79 + (21 $$\times$$ 3) = 79 + 63 = 142

142 + (21 $$\times$$​ 4) = 142 + 84 = 226

226 + (21 $$\times$$ 5) = 226 + 105 = 331

So, the missing term is 331.

Thus, correct option is (d).
