Given:
63, 64, 60, 69, 53, ?
In the above-given series, add and subtract alternately the square of the consecutive natural numbers.
63 + 1
2
= 63 + 1 = 64
64 – 2
2
= 64 – 4 = 60
60 + 3
2
= 60 + 9 = 69
69 – 4
2
= 69 – 16 = 53
53 + 5
2
= 53 + 25 = 78
So, 78 is the missing number of the series. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
