    The logic followed in the given series is: (First term – 3) + (Second term – 2) = Third term   First row: 14, 22, 31 (14 – 3) + (22 – 2) = 31 11 + 20 = 31 31 = 31   Second row: 27, 15, 37 (27 – 3) + (15 – 2) = 37 24 + 13 = 37 37 = 37   Third row: 46, 25, ? (46 – 3) + (25 – 2) = ? 43 + 23 = ? ? = 66   Hence, the correct answer is (C).
