What will come in place of the question mark (?) in the following numerical series?
14, 19, 35, 59, ? 179, 299

Correct option is D

Given - 14, 19, 35, 59, ? 179, 299

• First term: $14=2$² + 10
  

• Second term: 19=32+1019 = 3^2 + 1019= 32 + 10

• Third term: $35=\; 5$² + 10
  

• Fourth term: $59=\; 7$² + 10
  

Logic =  number = squares of prime numbers + 10

Step 1: Identify the pattern
The sequence of prime numbers used in the pattern is:
2,3,5,7,?
The next prime number after 7 is 11
Step 2: Apply the pattern
11²+10=121+10=131
Step 3: Verify the subsequent terms
Let's check if the next terms follow the same pattern.
The next prime number after 11 is 13, so:
13²+10=169+10=179
This matches the next term in the sequence.
Final Answer:
The missing term is 131.
Thus, the correct answer is (D) 131.
