Option 1: 8287
Option 2: 8197
Option 3: 8199
Option 4: 8289
Correct Answer: 8197
Solution :
Given:
131, 1179, 1171, ?, 8191
In the above-given series, multiply and subtract consecutive natural numbers alternately in descending order to the previous number to get the next number.
131 × 9 = 1179; 1179 – 8 = 1171; 1171 × 7 = 8197; 8197 – 6 = 8191
So, 8197 is the missing number of the series. Hence, the second option is correct.
