What should come in place of question mark (?) in the following number series ?

Question 110

87, 89, 95, 107, ?, 157

Solution

Here, the difference between consecutive terms is:
89-87 =2
95-89 =6
107-95 = 12

Now, difference of the difference is :
6-2 = 4
12-6= 6
Difference series is an arithmetic progression with common difference 2. Hence the next term will be 8 and difference between terms will be 20.
Next term = 107+20 = 127

Hence, the correct option is A.
