Question

Select the number from among the given options that can replace the question mark (?) in the following series.

2, 15, 41, 93, 197, ?

The correct answer is

405

To determine the missing number in the series:
1. Identify the pattern in the given numbers:
- 2 → 15 → 41 → 93 → 197 → ?
2. Analyze the difference between consecutive numbers:
- (15 - 2) = 13, (41 - 15) = 26, (93 - 41) = 52, (197 - 93) = 104.
3. Observe the pattern in the differences: 13, 26, 52, 104 (each is doubling).
4. The next difference should be 208 (104 × 2), so 197 + 208 = 405.
5. Thus, the missing number is 405.
