Correct Answer: 299


Solution : Given:
9, 19, 37, 75, 149, ?

Multiply the terms by 2. Then, alternately add and subtract 1 from the result to get the following terms.
(9 × 2) + 1 = 19
(19 × 2) – 1 = 37
(37 × 2) + 1 = 75
(75 × 2) – 1 = 149
(149 × 2) + 1 = 299

So, the required number is 299. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
