Detailed Solution & Explanation

We are given the series: 7,13,13,14,19,15,…\displaystyle 7, 13, 13, 14, 19, 15, \dots
Let's split this series into two interleaved sequences:
1. **Odd-positioned terms (1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th):**
- 7,13,19,?\displaystyle 7, 13, 19, ?
- Differences: 13−7=6\displaystyle 13 - 7 = 6, 19−13=6\displaystyle 19 - 13 = 6.
- This is an arithmetic progression with a common difference of +6\displaystyle +6.
- The next term (at the 7th position) must be 19+6=25\displaystyle 19 + 6 = 25.
2. **Even-positioned terms (2nd, 4th, 6th):**
- 13,14,15\displaystyle 13, 14, 15
- This is an arithmetic progression with a common difference of +1\displaystyle +1 (13→14→15\displaystyle 13 \to 14 \to 15).
Thus, the next term (7th term) is indeed 25\displaystyle 25.
Hence, **Option B** is the correct answer.
