Correct Answer: 138


Solution : Given:
48, 52, 61, 77, 102, ?

Add the square of the consecutive numbers in each number to obtain the next number.
48 + (2)2 = 48 + 4 = 52
52 + (3)2 = 52 + 9 = 61
61 + (4)2 = 61 + 16 = 77
77 + (5)2 = 77 + 25 = 102
102 + (6)2 = 102 + 36 = 138

So, the missing number is 138. Hence, the third option is correct.
