Correct Answer: 64


Solution : Given:
72, 85, 68, 81, ?, 77

Add 13 and subtract 17 alternatively from each term of the series to get the missing term of the series.
72 + 13 = 85; 85 – 17 = 68; 68 + 13 = 81; 81 – 17 = 64; 64 + 13 = 77

So, 64 is the missing number. Hence, the third option is correct.
