from the given options. \(120, \ 131, \ 115, \ 126, \ 110, \ (?)\)
Number Series Pattern Explained
The question asks us to identify the pattern in the given number series and find the missing number represented by $(?)$. The series is: 120, 131, 115, 126, 110, (?).
Finding the Series Pattern
Let's analyze the difference between consecutive numbers in the series:
- From 120 to 131: The difference is $131 - 120 = +11$.
- From 131 to 115: The difference is $115 - 131 = -16$.
- From 115 to 126: The difference is $126 - 115 = +11$.
- From 126 to 110: The difference is $110 - 126 = -16$.
We can observe an alternating pattern of operations: add 11, then subtract 16. This pattern repeats.
Calculating the Missing Number
Following the established pattern (+11, -16, +11, -16), the next operation should be adding 11 to the last number in the series.
The last given number is 110. Applying the next step in the pattern:
Missing Number = Last Number + 11
Missing Number = $110 + 11$
Missing Number = $121$.
Conclusion
Therefore, the missing number in the series 120, 131, 115, 126, 110, (?) is 121.

Important Questions from Odd Man Out
Three of the following numbers are alike in a certain way and one is different. Pick the odd one out. (NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into its constituent digits. E.g. 13 – Operations on 13 such as adding/deleting/multiplying etc., to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is not allowed.)
