A series is given with one term missing. Select the correct alternative from the given ones that will complete the series.2, 7, 16, ?, 46, 67

Let's examine the common differences between consecutive terms:$7-2=5$$16-7=9$ The differences appear to increase by $4$ each time ($5,9,13,17,21,\dots$). Let's check with this assumption:Next difference: $9+4=13$ Missing term: $16+13=29$ Let's verify the subsequent terms with this pattern:Next difference: $13+4=17⟹29+17=46$ (Matches)Next difference: $17+4=21⟹46+21=67$ (Matches)Thus, the missing term is 29.
