Answer 2

Given:

Series is 65536, 256, 16, _

To find :

The missing number in the series.

Solution:

We have to look at the pattern followed in this series to get the value of the missing number.

Let the missing number be X.

The series is 65536, 256, 16, X.

The pattern followed here is,

$\sqrt{65536}$ = 256

$\sqrt{256}$ = 16

Each succeeding number is the square root of the preceding number.

Hence, the value of X, after taking the square root of 16 is,

X = $\sqrt{16}$

X= 4

The missing number is 4

The series is 65536, 256, 16, 4.
