Correct Answer: 617


Solution : Given:
78, 155, 309, ?, 1233

In the above-given series, multiply the number by 2 and then subtract 1.
(78 × 2) – 1 = 156 – 1 = 155;
(155 × 2) – 1 = 310 – 1 = 309;
(309 × 2) – 1 = 618 – 1 = 617;
(617 × 2) – 1 = 1234 – 1 = 1233

So, 617 is the missing term in the given series. Hence, the third option is correct.
