In the following question, select the missing number from the given series.
14, 16, 30, 45, 62, 132, ?, ?
The given series is a pair of alternate series 14, 30, 62, ... and 16, 45, 132, ...
In 14, 30, 62, ...
$$\left(14\times2\right)+2=30$$
$$\left(30\times2\right)+2=62$$
Similarly, the next number in the series = $$\left(62\times2\right)+2=126$$
In 16, 45, 132, ...
$$\left(16\times3\right)-3=45$$
$$\left(45\times3\right)-3=132$$
Similarly, the next number in the series = $$\left(132\times3\right)-3=393$$
$$\therefore\ $$The missing numbers in the given series are 126, 393
Hence, the correct answer is Option B
