    Question

    What should come in place of the question mark (?) in the given series?
    55, 64, 81, 106, 139, ?

    A.

    181

    B.

    180

    C.

    182

    D.

    179

    Correct option is B

    Given:
    55 64 81 106 139 ?

    Logic:
    The DOUBLE difference between consecutive terms is 8. 

    Explanation (applied left to right):
    64 - 55 = 9
    81 - 64 = 17
    106 - 81 = 25
    139 - 106 = 33
    The differences are increasing by 8 each time (9, 17, 25, 33). So, the next difference will be 33 + 8 = 41.
    Now, add this difference to the last number:
    139 + 41 = 180.

    Final Answer:
    180

    Final Correct Option:
    (B)
