Which of the following numbers will replace the question mark (?) in the given series?
96, 48, 60, 30, 42, 21,?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. 33.
Given series: 96, 48, 60, 30, 42, 21,?
The series follows this pattern:
1. 96, 60, 42,?
96 - 36 = 60
60 - 18 = 42
42 - 9 = 33
2. 48, 30, 21
48 - 18 = 30
30 - 9 = 21
So, the next term in the series is 33.
