Question

Which of the following number will replace the question mark (?) and complete the given number series?
45, 52, 61, 73, 90, ?

A.

115

B.

112

C.

116

D.

114

Correct option is D

Given:
Series: 45, 52, 61, 73, 90, ?
Logic:
Differences between consecutive number 7, 9, 12, 17
52 − 45 = 7
61 − 52 = 9
73 − 61 = 12
90 − 73 = 17
The difference between these differences
9 − 7 = 2
12 − 9 = 3
17 − 12 = 5
This indicates the differences are following an increasing pattern based on prime numbers (2, 3, 5, ...).
The next difference should increase by the next prime number, 7.
The next difference = 17 + 7 = 24
Add this to the last term (90):
90 + 24
114
Thus, correct option is (d)
