Select the number that will replace the question mark (?) in the following series.
4, 5, 9, 18, 34, 59, ?, 144, 208, 289
The logic here is
$$5-4=1=1^2$$
$$9-5=4=2^2$$
$$18-9=9=3^2$$
$$34-18=16=4^2$$
$$59-34=25=5^2$$
The difference between numbers of the given series is square of consecutive numbers
Similarly, the required number = 59 + 6$$^2$$ = 59 + 36 = 95
Hence, the correct answer is Option A
