Correct Answer: 1183


Solution : Given:
36, 73, 147, 295, 591, ?

In the above-given series, multiply the previous number by 2 and add 1 to get the next number.
(36 × 2) + 1 = 72 + 1 = 73
(73 × 2) + 1 = 146 + 1 = 147
(147 × 2) + 1 = 294 + 1 = 295
(295 × 2) + 1 = 590 + 1 = 591
(591 × 2) + 1 = 1182 + 1 = 1183

So, the missing number of the series is 1183. Hence, the third option is correct.
