NIMCET 2014 — Reasoning PYQ

Pattern Analysis:

The pattern followed in this series is that each subsequent number is the sum of the preceding three numbers. (Note: For the first few terms, the logic essentially starts working fully from the 4th term onwards).

• Term 4: $1+2+3=6$

• Term 5: $2+3+6=11$

• Term 6: $3+6+11=20$

• Term 7: $6+11+20=37$

• Term 8: $11+20+37=68$

Calculation for the next term:

To find the next number in the series, we add the last three numbers:

Conclusion:

Hence, 125 will come next in the series.

Correct Option: 3 (125)
