Which of the following numbers will replace the question mark (?) in the given series?
153, 158, 151, 156, 149, 154, 147,?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. 152.
Given series: 153, 158, 151, 156, 149, 154, 147,?
The series follows this pattern:
1. 153, 151, 149, 147
153 - 2 = 151
151 - 2 = 149
149 - 2 = 147
2. 158, 156, 154,?
158 - 2 = 156
156 - 2 = 154
154 - 2 = 152
So, the next term in the series is 152.
