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

57, 50, 55, 52,?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 53.

Given series: 57, 50, 55, 52,?

The series follows this pattern:

57 - 7 = 50

50 + 5 = 55

55 - 3 = 52

52 + 1 = 53

So, the next term in the series is 53.
