Correct Answer: 299


Solution : Given:
283, 295, 281, 297, 279, ?

Add and subtract alternatively consecutive even numbers starting from 12 in the series, to get the required missing number –
283 + 12 = 295; 295 – 14 = 281; 281 + 16 = 297; 297 – 18 = 279; 279 + 20 = 299

So, the missing number is 299. Hence, the third option is correct.
