The numbers in the figure below have certain logic/pattern. Using that logic/pattern, find out the number that can be inserted in place of '?'.

Correct Option: 3

The differences keep increasing by multiples of 2. From 4 to 7, it's a simple difference of 3.

\newline

From 7 to 12, it's a difference of 5 (3+2)

\newline

From 12 to 21, it's a difference of 9 (5+4)

\newline

From 21 to 38, it's a difference of 17 (9+8)

So, from 38 to the next term, there should be a difference of

(17+16)=33

So, the term is

38+33=71
