Correct Answer: 18


Solution : Given:
0.5, 2, 4.5, 8, 12.5, ?

In the above-given series, add the increasing order of the number with the difference of 1, starting from 1.5 to the previous term to get the next term –
0.5 + 1.5 = 2; 2 + 2.5 = 4.5; 4.5 + 3.5 = 8; 8 + 4.5 = 12.5; 12.5 + 5.5 = 18

So, 18 is the missing term of the given series. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
