Correct Answer: 152


Solution : Given:
153, 158, 151, 156, 149, 154, 147, ?

In the above-given series, add 5 and subtract 7 alternately to the numbers.
153 + 5 = 158, 158 – 7 = 151, 151 + 5 = 156, 156 – 7 = 149, 149 + 5 = 154, 154 – 7 = 147, 147 + 5 = 152

So, the missing number of the series is 152. Hence, the second option is correct.
