Answer 2

Answer:

The missing number will be 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be determined by following the trend in the given numbers.

The numbers are given as 40,32,22,16​

First, we find the difference between the consecutive numbers-

8, 10, 6....as we can observe here the difference is decreasing by 2 but alternatively.

So, the next difference should be 8, hence the missing number will be 16-8= 8.

Alternatively, we can also consider taking the differences in an alternate manner.

40,32,22,16​ ( 40-22, 32-16, and so on)

So, in this case, the differences will be 18, 16, 14 so the missing number will be 22-14= 8.
