IQ Test: Solution

The missing number in this math puzzle can be solved as follows:

If we look at the first two numbers, they are 5 and 11, respectively.

Now, if we look at the difference between the two numbers, it comes to 6.

Again, the following number is 23; it has a gap of 12 from the 11.

Therefore, if we keep expanding the numbers following the rule, then we get: 

5+ 6 = 11

11 + 12 = 23

23 + 24 = 47

47 + 48 = 95

95 + 96 = 191

Therefore, the missing number is 191.
