Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Step 1: Analyze the pattern between consecutive numbers.
5 × 2 + 1 = 11
11 × 2 + 1 = 23
23 × 2 + 1 = 47
47 × 2 + 1 = 95
Step 2: Apply the pattern to the last given number.
The series follows the pattern: multiply by 2 and add 1.
Continuing this logic for the last term:
95 × 2 + 1 = 190 + 1 = 191.
Final Answer: Option 2
