Select the number from among the given options that can replace the question mark (?) in the following series.
16, 32, 14, 19, 37, 21, 22, 42, ?, 25, 47, 35

The given series is a mixture of three series.

16, 19, 22, 25    series(i)

32, 37, 42, 47    series(ii)

14, 21, ?, 35    series(iii)

In series(i), there is a difference of 3 in two consecutive terms.

16+3 = 19

19+3 = 22

22+3 = 25

In series(ii), there is a difference of 5 in two consecutive terms.

32+5 = 37

37+5 = 42

42+5 = 47

In series(iii), there is a difference of 7 in two consecutive terms.

14+7 = 21

21+7 = 28

28+7 = 35

Hence 28 will come in place of the question mark.
