Correct Answer: 55


Solution : Given:
57, 59, 56, 60, ?, 61, 54

Add and subtract consecutive natural numbers alternately in the previous number to obtain the next number.
57 + 2 = 59; 59 – 3 = 56; 56 + 4 = 60; 60 – 5 = 55; 55 + 6 = 61; 61 – 7 = 54

So, the missing number is 55. Hence, the first option is correct.
