Correct Answer: 9


Solution : Given:
4, ?, 19, 39, 79, 159

The pattern followed here is –
4 + (5 × 1) = 4 + 5 = 9
9 + (5 × 2) = 9 + 10 = 19
19 + (5 × 4) = 19 + 20 = 39
39 + (5 × 8) = 39 + 40 = 79
79 + (5 × 16) = 79 + 80 = 159

So, 9 is the missing term of the series. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
