Correct Answer :

Option D

93

Solution :

The correct option is 93.

To find the missing number in the given series, let us analyze the pattern or relationship between consecutive terms:

Given series: 13, 14, 30, ?, 376, 1885

Let us examine how each term is derived from the previous term:

First term to second term:
13×1+1=14

Second term to third term:
14×2+2=30

Following this pattern, to find the fourth term (?), we multiply the third term by 3 and add 3:
30×3+3=90+3=93

Let us verify the remaining terms using the same logic:

Fourth term to fifth term:
93×4+4=372+4=376

Fifth term to sixth term:
376×5+5=1880+5=1885

The pattern is consistently Previous Term×n+n for n=1,2,3,4,5

Therefore, the number that replaces the question mark (?) is 93.
