Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option A

93

Solution :

The correct option is 93.


Let us analyze the pattern of the given number series by examining the difference between consecutive terms:


22-17=5

32-22=10

47-32=15

67-47=20


Notice that the differences between consecutive terms form an arithmetic progression increasing by 5 each time: 5, 10, 15, 20, ...


Following this pattern, the next difference should be 25.

Adding 25 to 67 gives:

67+25=92


Let us check the subsequent term using the next difference, which should be 30:

92+30=122


This matches the last term in the series (122). Therefore, the number 93 is wrong and should be replaced by 92.
