Mohon, you made a mistake.
XI = 11, not 9 (which is IX).
Look at the question again. series will be : 5, 8, 11, 14, __, 20.
XI = 11, not 9 (which is IX).
Look at the question again. series will be : 5, 8, 11, 14, __, 20.

I know that:.
1=I.
2=II.
3=III.
4=IV.
5=V.
6=VI.
7=VII.
8=VIII.
9=IX.
10=X.
& so on.
Therefore the given numbers are:.
5, 8, 9, 14, __, 20.
But I can't understand the explanation that each number is 3 more than the previous number because by this way.
5+3=8.
But 8+3 isn't equal to 9,
Similarly, 9+3 isn't equal to 14.
So how is it possible that the option [D] i.e. XVII (no. 17) is the correct answer.
1=I.
2=II.
3=III.
4=IV.
5=V.
6=VI.
7=VII.
8=VIII.
9=IX.
10=X.
& so on.

5, 8, 9, 14, __, 20.
