Logical Reasoning Alphanumeric series Easy

(A) 52
(B) 21
(C) 81
(D) 82
✓ Correct Answer: Option C Verified Solution

📘 Step-by-Step Solution & Detailed Explanation:

The series is 6, 11, 21, 36, 56, ?

Differences between consecutive terms:

  • 11 - 6 = 5
  • 21 - 11 = 10
  • 36 - 21 = 15
  • 56 - 36 = 20

The differences increase by 5 each time, so the next difference is 20 + 5 = 25.

Thus, the sixth number is 56 + 25 = 81.

Answer: (C) 81
