- The series given is: 42, 67, 96, 129, 166, ?

- Let's find the difference between consecutive numbers:

- 67 - 42 = 25

- 96 - 67 = 29

- 129 - 96 = 33

- 166 - 129 = 37

- The differences are increasing by 4 each step: 25, 29, 33, 37.

- Following this pattern, the next difference should be 41.

- Add this to the last number in the series: 166 + 41 = 207.

- Option 1: 207 - This fits the pattern.

- Option 2: 206 - Doesn't fit the pattern.

- Option 3: 205 - Doesn't fit the pattern.

- Option 4: 208 - Doesn't fit the pattern.
