46. Given Series:

: Series I 161 159 169 227 477 ?
: Series II (+3–5) (+15–5) (+63–5) (+255–5) ?
Series III: (3×4)+3 → (15×4)+3 → (63×4)+3 → ?
Series Pattern:
: Series I 161 159 169 227 477 1495
: Series II (+3–5) (+15–5) (+63–5) (+255–5) (1023–5)
Series III: (3×4)+3 (15×4)+3 (63×4)+3 (255×4)+3
Hence, there must be 1495 in place of question mark.
Therefore option (C) is correct.
