Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Correct Answer: Option B (141)

Explanation:

Look at the gaps between consecutive terms. Each gap is 9 more than the previous gap: 11, 20, 29, 38, 47.

7 + 11 = 18

18 + 20 = 38

38 + 29 = 67

67 + 38 = 105

105 + 47 = 152

The sixth term should therefore be 152, but the series shows 141. So 141 is the incorrect number.
