Which of the following numbers will replace the question mark (?) in the given series?

8, 9, 13, 22, (?)

8, 9, 13, 22, (?)

Logic: Add consecutive perfect squares: $$1^2,2^2,3^2,4^2$$12,22,32,421^2, 2^2, 3^2, 4^2... to each term.(+1,+4,+9,+16)​​

8 + 1 = 9

9 + 4 = 13

13 + 9 = 22

22 + 16 = 38

So,  the next differences should be: 4² =  16.

Therefore, the missing term in the series should be 22 + 16 = 38.

Thus, the correct option is: (d)
