Question

What will come in the place of the (?) in the following number series?
5 14 45 130 ? 1182
((A) 397
(B) 224
(C) 329
(D) 379​

Answer 1

The answer is (A)
397

Answer 2

5

14 = (5x3) - 1

45 = (14x3) + 3

130 = (45x3) - 5

(?) = (130x3) + 7

=> (?) = 397

1182 = (397x3) - 9

Thus, the missing number is 397.
