Correct Answer :

Option C

191

Solution :

The correct option is 191.

To find the missing number in the given series, let us observe the pattern of differences between consecutive terms:

121 - 116 = 5

131 - 121 = 10

146 - 131 = 15

166 - 146 = 20

We can see that the difference between consecutive numbers increases by 5 each time (5, 10, 15, 20, ...).

Therefore, the next difference to add to 166 should be 25:

166 + 25 = 191

Thus, the number that comes in place of ‘?’ is 191.
