What should come in place of the question mark (?) in the given series?

129, 128, 124, 115, 99,?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 74.

Given series: 129, 128, 124, 115, 99,?

The series follows this pattern:

129 - 12 = 129 - 1 = 128

128 - 22 = 128 - 4 = 124

124 - 32 = 124 - 9 = 115

115 - 42 = 115 - 16 = 99

99 - 52 = 99 - 25 = 74

So, the next term in the series is 74.

Hence, 74 is the correct answer.
