91 97 106 118 133 ?
Number Series Problem Analysis
The question asks to identify the missing number in the given numerical series: 91, 97, 106, 118, 133, ?
To solve this, we need to find the pattern governing the series.
Identifying the Series Pattern
Let's examine the differences between consecutive terms:
- \(97 - 91 = 6\)
- \(106 - 97 = 9\)
- \(118 - 106 = 12\)
- \(133 - 118 = 15\)
The differences themselves form a series: 6, 9, 12, 15.
Observing this new series of differences, we see a consistent increase of 3 between each term:
- \(9 - 6 = 3\)
- \(12 - 9 = 3\)
- \(15 - 12 = 3\)
This indicates that the differences are increasing by 3 each time.
Calculating the Missing Term
Following the established pattern, the next difference in the series should be:
\(15 + 3 = 18\)
To find the missing term in the original series, we add this next difference (18) to the last known term (133):
\(133 + 18 = 151\)
Therefore, the number that should come in place of '?' is 151.
