    1. 65
    2. 60
    3. 50

Correct Option: A

As we see that
First term = 3
Second term = First term + 2
⇒ Second term = 3 + 2 = 5
Third term = Second term + 22
⇒ Third term = 5 + 4 = 9
Fourth term = Third term + 23
⇒ Fourth term = 9 + 8 = 17............... and so on.........
Adding 2, 22, 23, 24, 25

∴ The next term in the sequence will be 65
