Correct Answer: 217
Solution : Given: 5, 11, 24, 51, 106, ?
Multiply each term by 2 and add consecutive natural numbers to get the next term of the series – (5 × 2) + 1 = 10 + 1 = 11; (11 × 2) + 2 = 22 + 2 = 24; (24 × 2) + 3 = 48 + 3 = 51; (51 × 2) + 4 = 102 + 4 = 106; (106 × 2) + 5 = 212 + 5 = 217
So, the missing number of the series is 217. Hence, the second option is correct.
