Explanation:

I cannot sure.

Answer 2

Answer:

Next term is 2

Explanation:

Given series of numbers are

46,40,38,30,20

Difference between 1st and 2nd number=46-40=6

Difference between 2nd and 3rd number=40-38=2

Difference between 3rd and 4th number=38-30=8 (sum of differences 6&2)

Difference between 4th and 5th number=30-20=10 (sum of differences 2&8)

Therefore to obtain next number we have to take sum of differences 8 & 10 =18

Subtracting 18 from 5th term we get,

6th term=20-(8+10)=2

Therefore,2 is next term.
