Correct Answer: 231


Solution : Given:
144, 171, 200, ?, 264

Add consecutive odd numbers starting from 27 to the previous term to obtain the next term.
144 + 27 = 171; 171 + 29 = 200; 200 + 31 = 231; 231 + 33 = 264

So, 231 is the missing term in the given series. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
