Explanation:

Let's analyze the sequence: 62, 74, 80, 86, 95, ?, 158

- Find the differences between numbers:

- 74 - 62 = 12

- 80 - 74 = 6

- 86 - 80 = 6

- 95 - 86 = 9

- The pattern of difference looks like: 12, 6, 6, 9, ?

- Let's see the difference to the next number:

- From 95 to ? = x

- From ? to 158 = 158 - ?

- Try options for "?" and see if the pattern fits.

Option 1: 100

- 100 - 95 = 5

- 158 - 100 = 58 (Too big!)

Option 2: 108

- 108 - 95 = 13

- 158 - 108 = 50 (Too big!)

Option 3: 122

- 122 - 95 = 27

- 158 - 122 = 36 (Very big jumps!)

Option 4: 113

- 113 - 95 = 18

- 158 - 113 = 45 (Does not fit pattern.)

Looking closer, let's check another pattern. After 86, the jumps start increasing. The main pattern seems to have small increments; none of the options seamlessly fit a number progression. But among the options, Option 1 (100, with a difference of 5) fits reasonably after the differences 6, 6, 9 (going lower in value as before). The next difference is a big jump, which could be an intended pattern.

Correct Option:

- Option 1: 100
