correct answer is: option a (123)
Explanation: The pattern in the series is as follows: Each number is obtained by multiplying the previous number by 2 and adding a consecutive odd number starting from 5.
3 * 2 + 5 = 11
11 * 2 + 5 = 27
27 * 2 + 5 = 59
3, 11, 27, 59, 123,...
*2+5 *2+5 *2+5 *2+5 Therefore, the next number is 59 * 2 + 5 = 123
- Option a: 119. 59*2 + 5 = 123, is the correct pattern
- Option b: 121. Incorrect following by pattern
- Option c: 134. Incorrect following by pattern
- Option d: 113. Incorrect following by pattern
