What will come in place of the question mark (?) in the following series?
6, 1, 7, 8, 15, 23, ?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → 38
From the third term on, each term is the sum of the two terms before it:
\(6+1=7\)
\(1+7=8\)
\(7+8=15\)
\(8+15=23\)
\(15+23=38\)
So the next number is 38.
