SSC CPO - 25 Nov 2020 - Shift 1 • Reasoning • Q162

Which number will replace the question mark (?) in the following number series?

16, 28,? , 46, 52

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e 38.

Given series: 16, 28,? , 46, 52

The series follows the pattern:

16 + 12 = 28

28 + 10 = 38

38 + 8 = 46

46 + 6 = 52

So, the missing term in the series is 38.
