Correct Answer: 23
Solution : Given:
17, 18, 20, ?, 27, 32
In the given series, add consecutive natural numbers to the previous number to get the next number –
17 + 1 = 18; 18 + 2 = 20; 20 + 3 = 23; 23 + 4 = 27; 27 + 5 = 32
So, the missing number in the series is 23. Hence, the third option is correct.
