    Correct Answer: 22


    Solution : Given:
    2, 4, 7, 11, 16, ?

    Add consecutive natural numbers, starting from 2 to the previous number to obtain the next number.
    2 + 2 = 4; 4 + 3 = 7; 7 + 4 = 11; 11 + 5 = 16; 16 + 6 = 22

    So, the missing number is 22. Hence, the first option is correct.
