Question

Which of the following numbers will replace the question mark (?) in the given series?
13, 21, 33, 54, 91,?

A.

162

B.

153

C.

175

D.

183

Correct option is B

To find the number that replaces the question mark (?) in the given series:

Series: 13, 21, 33, 54, 91, ?

Let's analyze the pattern in the series.

  1. Find the difference between consecutive terms:

    • 21−13=821 - 13 = 82113=8
    • 33−21=1233 - 21 = 123321=12
    • 54−33=2154 - 33 = 215433=21
    • 91−54=3791 - 54 = 379154=37
  2. Observe the differences:

    • Differences are: 8, 12, 21, 37.
  3. Find the pattern in the differences:

    • The differences themselves form a series: 8,12,21,378, 12, 21, 378,12,21,37.

    • These are increasing, and the differences between them are:

      • 12−8=412 - 8 = 4128=4
      • 21−12=921 - 12 = 92112=9
      • 37−21=1637 - 21 = 163721=16
    • The increments are squares: 23, 32, 4​2.

    • So, the next increment should be  52

      52=25

  4. Add this increment to the last difference (37):

    • 37+25=6237 + 25 = 6237+25=62.
  5. Add this new difference (62) to the last term (91):

    • 91+62=15391 + 62 = 15391+62=153.

Final Answer:

(B) 153
