4+7=11, 11+14=25, 25+28=53, 53+56=109,

Start adding with 7 then after 7*2, then the answer with 2. That's it.

Yes 109 is wrong because 74* 35=2590 which is not the next number in the given series?

Its really a tough question. Could not judge the way in which the series is written?

11 is the only one which is prime no. So the answer is option D.
