Correct Answer: 774
Solution :
Given:
717, 738, 757, ?, 789
Add the consecutive odd numbers in decreasing order, (starting from 21) to the previous number to get the next number of the series –
717 + 21 = 738; 738 + 19 = 757; 757 + 17 = 774; 774 + 15 = 789
So, 774 is the missing number. Hence, the third option is correct.
