Correct Answer: 309


Solution : Given:
19, 39, 77, 155,  ?

Multiply the number by 2 and then add and subtract 1 alternately –
(19 × 2) + 1 = 38 + 1 = 39
(39 × 2) – 1 = 78 – 1 = 77
(77 × 2) + 1 = 154 + 1 = 155
(155 × 2) – 1 = 310 – 1 = 309

Thus, the required missing number in the series is 309. Hence, the third option is correct.
