A series is given with one term missing. Choose the correct alternative that will complete the series.
36, 34, 30, 28, 24, ?
- 21
- 22
- 24
- 28
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B - 22
The series alternates −2 and −4: 36 − 2 = 34, 34 − 4 = 30, 30 − 2 = 28, 28 − 4 = 24. The next step is −2, giving 24 − 2 = 22; 21 fits neither step.
