    As per the details in the question the series is in the form of
    First term + Second term = Third term
    ⇒ 7 + 9 = 16;
    Second term + Third term = Fourth term
    ⇒ 9 + 16 = 25;
    Similarly , we can calculate all next terms also.



    Correct Option: D

    As per the details in the question the series is in the form of
    First term + Second term = Third term
    ⇒ 7 + 9 = 16;
    Second term + Third term = Fourth term
    ⇒ 9 + 16 = 25;
    Similarly , we can find all others terms also.
    Third term + Fourth term = Fifth term
    ⇒ 16 + 25 = 41;
    Fourth term + Fifth term = Sixth term
    ⇒ 25 + 41 = ?
    ∴ ? = 66
    Fifth term + Sixth term = Seventh term
    ⇒ 41 + 66 = 107
    Sixth term + Seventh term = Eighth term
    ⇒ 66 + 107 = 173
    Hence , Sixth term = 66

    As per the details in the question the series is in the form of
    First term = 2
    Second term = First term × 3 + 5 = 11
    Third term = Second term × 4 - 6 = 38
    Similarly , we can calculate all next terms also.

    Correct Option: C

    As per the details in the question the series is in the form of
    First term = 2
    Second term = First term × 3 + 5
    Second term = 2 × 3 + 5 = 11
    Third term = Second term × 4 - 6
    Third term = 11 × 3 + 5 = 38
    Fourth term = Third term × 5 + 7
    Fourth term = 38 × 5 + 7 = 197 ;
    Fifth term = Fourth term × 6 - 8
    Fifth term = 197 × 6 - 8 = ?
    ∴ ? = 1174
    Similarly , we can find all others terms also.
    Sixth term = Fifth term × 7 + 9
    Sixth term = 1174 × 7 + 9 = 8227;
    Seventh term = Sixth term × 8 - 10
    Sixth term = 1174 × 8 - 10 = 65806
    Hence , Fifth term = 1174
