Correct Answer

✅ Option b — 84\displaystyle 84

All Options:

  • A52\displaystyle 52
  • B84\displaystyle 84
  • C97\displaystyle 97
  • D67\displaystyle 67

Detailed Solution & Explanation

Let's calculate the difference between consecutive terms in the series:
- 37−22=15\displaystyle 37 - 22 = 15
- 52−37=15\displaystyle 52 - 37 = 15
- 67−52=15\displaystyle 67 - 52 = 15
- If the pattern of a constant difference of +15\displaystyle +15 continues:
- The next term should be 67+15=82\displaystyle 67 + 15 = 82.
- The term after that should be 82+15=97\displaystyle 82 + 15 = 97 (which is correct).

The series should form an arithmetic progression: 22,37,52,67,82,97\displaystyle 22, 37, 52, 67, 82, 97. The term 84\displaystyle 84 violates this pattern and is the wrong term.

Hence, **Option B** is the correct answer.
