A series is given below, with one term missing. Choose the correct option from the given ones below that will complete the series

22, 23.5, 48.5, ?, 589.5, 2949

1. 147.5
2. 145.5
3. 145
4. 147
5. 142

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 4 : 147

Calculation:

The pattern of the given series is:

⇒ (22 × 1) + 1.5 = 23.5

⇒ (23.5 × 2) + 1.5 = 48.5

⇒ (48.5 × 3) + 1.5 = 147

⇒ (147 × 4) + 1.5 = 589.5

⇒ (589.5 × 5) + 1.5 = ? = 2949

∴ the missing number in the series is 147.
