• C. 142

• E. None of these

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

96

Answer 2

The series follows a similar pattern that is,
$3 + 1^1 = 3$

$3 + 2^2 = 7$

$7 + 3^3 = 16$

$16 + 4^4 = 32$

$32 + 5^5 = 57$

$57 + 6^6 = 93$

$93 + 7^7 = 142$

The Error Term is 96

The Term which will Replace it will be 93

The correct option is (B): 96
