Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option A

65

Solution :

The correct option is 65.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us analyze the pattern followed in the given numerical series:

55,62,?,72,75,82

By observing the difference between consecutive numbers, we can see an alternating addition pattern of +7 and +3:

55+7=62

62+3=65

65+7=72

72+3=75

75+7=82

Therefore, following the alternating pattern, the number that replaces the question mark (?) is 65.
