Answer 1

Answer:

185.

Step-by-step explanation:

17,25,41,65,97,137,?,241

25-17=8 (8×1)

41-25=16 (8×2)

65-41=24(8×3)

97-65=32 (8×4)

137-97=40 (8×5)

?-137=8×6

?=48+137

?=185

241-185=56(8×7)

Answer 2

Answer:

17, 25 41, 65, 97, 137, 185, 241.

Step-by-step explanation:

17    25    41    65     97     137       ?      241

  8      16     24     32     40     48     56                   .......(i)

Here, by observing the series we can check the difference between the numbers.

(i) is the first difference series and has a pattern with a multiple of 8, starting from 8.

So, the missing number should be (137+48) or (241-56), which gives 185 in both cases and thus follow a pattern of series.

So, the missing number will be 185.

The series will look like now as

17, 25 41, 65, 97, 137, 185, 241.

So, the missing number will be 185.

The series will look like now as
