Determine the next term in the following number series: 3, 15, 35, 63, ?
A89
B91
C99 ✓ Correct
D106
Correct answer: (C) 99
Explanation
The next term is 99.
Each term is a product of two consecutive odd numbers.
3 = 1 x 3, 15 = 3 x 5, 35 = 5 x 7, 63 = 7 x 9.
The next pair is 9 x 11.
So the term = 9 x 11 = 99.
