Correct Answer: 119


Solution : Given:
482, 239, 158, 131, 122, ?

The pattern is as follows –
482 – 243 = 239
239 – (243 ÷ 3) = 239 – 81 = 158
158 – (81 ÷ 3) = 158 – 27 = 131
131 – (27 ÷ 3) = 131 – 9 = 122
122 – (9 ÷ 3) = 122 – 3 = 119

So, 119 is the missing number of the series. Hence, the second option is correct.
