Correct Answer: 109


Solution : Given:
47, 49, 53, 61, 77, ?, 173

Add consecutive powers of 2 to the previous term to get the next term of the series.
47 + 2 1 = 47 + 2 = 49
49 + 2 2 = 49 + 4 = 53
53 + 2 3 = 53 + 8 = 61
61 + 2 4 = 61 + 16 = 77
77 + 2 5 = 77 + 32 = 109
109 + 2 6 = 109 + 64 = 173

So, the missing term is 109. Hence, the second option is correct.
