This question was previously asked in
SSC GD 2018 Question Paper Hindi (11-Mar-2019) (Shift 3)
The correct answer is

186

186 is correct.

Differences between consecutive terms: 5, 10, 17, 26, 37.

These are \(2^2+1, 3^2+1, 4^2+1, 5^2+1, 6^2+1\), so the next difference is \(7^2 + 1 = 50\).

Each gap is one more than a perfect square, and the squares grow as 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, so the next square is 49.

Next term: \(136 + 50 = 186\).
