Correct Answer: 21


Solution : Given:
– 7, – 6, – 4, – 1, 3, 8, 14, ?

In the above-given series, add consecutive natural numbers to the previous number to get the next number.
– 7 + 1 = – 6, – 6 + 2 = – 4, – 4 + 3 = – 1, – 1 + 4 = 3, 3 + 5 = 8, 8 + 6 = 14, 14 + 7 = 21

So, 21 is the missing number. Hence, the second option is correct.
