Correct Answer: 133


Solution : Given:
159, 146, ?, 120, 107, 94, 81

Subtract 13 from each number to obtain the next number.
159 – 13 = 146; 146 – 13 = 133; 133 – 13 = 120; 120 – 13 = 107; 107 – 13 = 94; 94 – 13 = 81

So, the missing number of the series is 133. Hence, the third option is correct.
