Correct Answer: 102
Solution : Given: 8, 15, 28, 53, ?
Multiply the previous term by 2 and then subtract consecutive natural numbers to get the next term. (8 × 2) – 1 = 16 – 1 = 15; (15 × 2) – 2 = 30 – 2 = 28; (28 × 2) – 3 = 56 – 3 = 53; (53 × 2) – 4 = 106 – 4 = 102
So, 102 is the missing number in the given series. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
