Question

In the following question, select the missing number from the given series.47, 44, 40, 37, ?, 30

A) 32 B) 33 C) 34 D) 31

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

$B) 33$

Answer 2

Answer:

In the given series, after 47 there is 44, which means 3 was subtracted.

After 44 there is 40, which means 4 was subtracted. This pattern of subtracting 3, then  4, then 3 again continues.

So after 37, we must subtract 4, thus we get 33.

∴ Option B) 33 is the correct answer.

To recheck our answer we can follow the pattern of subtracting 3, then 4, then 3 etc.

On doing this,

When we subtract 3 from 33 we get 30.

This confirms that our answer is correct.

∴ Option B) is the correct answer.
