Question: 16: Look at this series: 36, 34, 30, 28, 24, ... What number should
come next?
1 20
2.22
3. 23
4. 26​

Answer 1

Solution:

Given series -

>> 36, 34, 30, 28, 24, ___.

We have to find out the next term of this series.

So, let us write the difference between each terms.

1. 36 - 34 = 2

2. 34 - 30 = 4

3. 30 - 28 = 2

4. 28 - 24 = 4

We can observe that the difference between each terms goes like - 2, 4, 2, 4 and so on. So, this time, difference will be 2.

So, let the next term be x.

So,

→ 24 - x = 2

→ x = 24 - 2

→ x = 22

So, the required answer is - 22.

Answer:

• 22 (Option 2)
