Select the option that will correctly replace the question mark (?) in the series.

109, 105, 89, 53,?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. -11.

Understanding

Given series: 109, 105, 89, 53,?

The logic used here is:

109 - 22 = 105

105 - 42 = 89

89 - 62 = 53

53 - 82 = -11

The next term in the series is -11.

Hence, option 4 is the correct answer.
