    A 62 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 68 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 78 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 70 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    35, 38, 43, 50, 59, ___ To find the pattern in the series, let’s look at the difference between the consecutive numbers: The difference between 35 and 38 is 3 (35 + 3 = 38) The difference between 38 and 43 is 5 (38 + 5 = 43) The difference between 43 and 50 is 7 (43 + 7 = 50) The difference between 50 and 59 is 4 (50 + 9 = 59) The difference is increasing by 2 each time. Continuing this pattern, the next difference should be 11. Therefore, the next term in the series should be  59 + 11 = 70 . So, the correct option is (d).
