Correct Answer: 92

Solution : Given:
17, 22, 32, 47, 67, X

Add the consecutive multiples of 5 to each number to obtain the next number of the series –
17 + (5 × 1) = 17 + 5 = 22;
22 + (5 × 2) = 22 + 10 = 32;
32 + (5 × 3) = 32 + 15 = 47;
47 + (5 × 4) = 47 + 20 = 67;
67 + (5 × 5) = 67 + 25 = 92

So, 92 is the missing number of the series. Hence, the third option is correct.

Conclusion II: Some papers are keys – From the above diagram, we can see that the circle of papers and keys intersect and have some common area between them. So, this conclusion follows.

So, only conclusion II follows. Hence, the third option is correct.
