111

- The given series is: 17, 16, 32, 29, 116, ?

- Let's analyze the differences between consecutive numbers:

1. 17 to 16: decrease by 1.

2. 16 to 32: double and no subtraction.

3. 32 to 29: decrease by 3.

4. 29 to 116: quadruple (29 times 4).

- Notice the pattern: -1, double, -3, quadruple.

- Applying the pattern for the missing number:

- After quadrupling, next is decreasing by 5, so 116 - 5.

- This result is 111.

- Now, match the results with the options:

- Option 1: 121

- Option 2: 111

- Option 3: 71

- Option 4: 81

- Option 2 is correct.
