Which of the following numbers will replace the question mark (?) in the given series?
99, 101, 104, 109, 116, ?

Correct option is B

The given series is: 99, 101, 104, 109, 116, ?

Step 1: Analyzing the differences:

• 101−99=2
• 104−101=3
• 109−104=5
• 116−109=7

Step 2: Identifying the pattern:

The differences are +2, +3, +5, +7, which are consecutive prime numbers.

Step 3: Calculating the next term:

The next difference should be the next prime number after 7, which is 11.
Adding 11 to the last number in the series:
116+11=127

Final Answer:

The missing number is 127.
