Take the series as 15, 23, 31, 39...
Adding 8 to the previous number will give the next no.
15+8=23
23+8=31
31+8=39
So, 39+8= 47 for the series 15, 23, 31, 39..
And 4.7 for the series 1.5, 2.3, 3.1, 3.9...
Adding 8 to the previous number will give the next no.
15+8=23
23+8=31
31+8=39
So, 39+8= 47 for the series 15, 23, 31, 39..
And 4.7 for the series 1.5, 2.3, 3.1, 3.9...

Another solution is there.
Just add the digits of the individual number to once digit extent.
Like,
1+5, 2+3, 3+1, 3+9.
6, 5, 4, 3, now is 2 therefore option C is correct as 4+7=11 then 1+1=2 this complete the series.

1.5+0.8 = 2.3.
3.1+0.8 = 3.9.
3.9+0.8 = 4.7.
3.1+0.8 = 3.9.
3.9+0.8 = 4.7.

2.3-1.5 = 0.8.
2.3+0.8 = 3.1.
3.1+0.8 = 3.9.
3.9+0.8 = 4.7.
2.3+0.8 = 3.1.
3.1+0.8 = 3.9.
3.9+0.8 = 4.7.

15, 23, 31, 39, ?
31-15 = 16.
39-23 = 16.
So 31+16 = 47.
31-15 = 16.
39-23 = 16.
So 31+16 = 47.
