Which of the following numbers will replace the question mark (?) in the given series?

96, 12, 32\frac{3}{2}, ?, 3128\frac{3}{128}

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 316\frac{3}{16}.

Given series:  96, 12, 32\frac{3}{2}, ?, 3128\frac{3}{128}

The series follows this pattern:

96 ÷ 8 = 12

12 ÷ 8 = 3/2

3/2 ÷ 8 = 3/16

3/16 ÷ 8 = 3/128

So, the missing term in the series is 316\frac{3}{16}.
