Correct Answer: 207


Solution : Given:
12, 25, 51, 103, ?, 415, 831

Multiply the previous term by 2 and add 1 to the resultant term to get the next term.
(12 × 2) + 1 = 25; (25 × 2) + 1 = 51; (51 × 2) + 1 = 103; (103 × 2) + 1 = 207; (207 × 2) + 1 = 415; (415 × 2) + 1 = 831

So, 207 is the missing term in the series. Hence, the second option is correct.
