Given:

15, 34, 57, 86, ?, 170

Solution:

34 - 15 = 19

57 - 34 = 23

86 - 57 = 29

123 - 86 = 37

170 - 123 = 47

∴ Missing term in the series is 123. 

Important Points 

The difference in the numbers 19, 23, 29, 37 & 47 are multiple of 2.

⇒ 23 - 19 = 4

⇒ 29 - 23 = 6

⇒ 37 - 29 = 8

⇒ 47 - 37 = 10
