Answer 2

Given:

The given series is 258, 130, 66, 34, 18.

To find:

We have to find the next term.

Solution:

To determine the next term we have to follow the below steps as follows-

The series is 258, 130, 66, 34, 18.

This series follows a specific pattern.

The pattern is as follows-

If we divide each number by 2 and add 1 to the result we will get the next number as follows-

$\frac{258}{2} + 1 = 130 \\ \frac{130}{2} + 1 = 66 \\ \frac{66}{2} + 1 = 34 \\ \frac{34}{2} + 1 = 18$

Hence the next number will also follow the same pattern.

Thus, the next term is as follows-

$\frac{18}{2} + 1 = 10$

Hence the next term of the series is 10.

The correct option is 2.
