Linda is stuck in a puzzle, where she has to find the next number of the given series. Help her by choosing the correct option.
1, 3, 14, 115, ?

• A. 1844
• B. 674
• C. 670
• D. 1712

Answer 1

The correct option is A 1844

The pattern followed by the given series is:

1
1 × 2 + 1 = 3
3 × 2${}^2$ + 2 = 14
14 × 2${}^3$ + 3 = 115

So, the next number will be:

115$\times$2${}^4$ + 4 = 1844
