Correct Answer: 74


Solution : Given:
3, 7, 16, 35, ?

Multiply the terms by 2 and add consecutive natural numbers to the results.
(3 × 2) + 1 = 6 + 1 = 7; (7 × 2) + 2 = 14 + 2 = 16; (16 × 2) + 3 = 32 + 3 = 35; (35 × 2) + 4 = 70 + 4 = 74

So, the required missing number is 74. Hence, the third option is correct.
