    The given series is in the below pattern,
    First term = 10
    Second term = First term + 5 = 15
    Third term = Second term + 9 = 24
    Similarly , we can calculate all others terms also.

    Correct Option: A

    The given series is in the below pattern,
    First term = 10
    Second term = First term + 5 = 15
    Second term = 10 + 5 =15 ,
    Third term = Second term + 9 = 24
    Third term = 15 + 9 = 24 ,
    Similarly , we can find the all others terms also.
    24 + 13 = 35, is wrong. It should be 37.
    Fourth term = Third term + 13 = 37 + 17 = 54 ,
    Fifth term = Fourth term + 17 = 54 + 21 = 75 ,
    Sixth term = Fifth term + 21 = 75 + 25 = 100
    The difference in successive nos. 9 – 5 = 13 – 9 = 17 – 13 = 21 - 17 = 4.
    Hence, 35 is wrong. It should be 37.
