Select the number that can replace the question mark (?) in the following series.

40, 37, 43, 34, 46, ?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e 31.

Understanding

Given series: 40, 37, 43, 34, 46, ?

40 - 3 = 37

37 + 6 = 43

43 - 9 = 34

34 + 12 = 46

46 - 15 = 31

Thus the missing term is 31.
