SSC CPO - 25 Nov 2020 - Shift 1 • Reasoning • Q198

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

34, 42, 50, 56, 62, 66, ?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. 70.

Given series: 34, 42, 50, 56, 62, 66, ?

The series follows the pattern:

34 + 8 = 42

42 + 8 = 50

50 + 6 = 56

56 + 6 = 62

62 + 4 = 66

66 + 4 = 70

So, the next term in the series is 70.
