Question and options

Find out the missing number in the series.

2, 7, 14, 23, 34, ?
  1. 46
  2. 47
  3. 45
  4. 48

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: B - 47
The differences are 5, 7, 9 and 11, consecutive odd numbers. The next difference is 13, so the missing number is 34 + 13 = 47; 45 repeats the difference of 11, and 46 and 48 are off by one.
