Question

Select the number from among the given options that can replace the question mark (?) in the following series: 3, 10, 24, ?, 73, 108

• A.
• B.
• C.
• D.

Hint:

In number series problems, identify the pattern in the differences between consecutive terms, and use it to find the missing number.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Let's look at the pattern in the series: The given series is: 3, 10, 24, ?, 73, 108 We can notice the pattern by analyzing the differences between consecutive terms: - 10 - 3 = 7 - 24 - 10 = 14 Now, let’s find the difference between the next number and 24. - 73 - ? = 49 Thus, the missing number is: 24 + 28 = 52 So, the correct number that fits in the pattern is 52. Thus, the correct answer is (C).
