Correct Answer: 65


Solution : Given:
120, 119, 115, 106, 90, ?

Subtract the squares of the consecutive natural numbers from the previous term to get the next term in the series.
120 – (1)2 = 120 – 1 = 119; 119 – (2)2 = 119 – 4 = 115; 115 – (3)2 = 115 – 9 = 106; 106 – (4)2 = 106 – 16 = 90; 90 – (5)2 = 90 – 25 = 65

So, 65 is the missing term in the series. Hence, the second option is correct.
