Correct Answer: 36
Solution :
Given:
96, 90, 78, 60, (?)
Subtract the consecutive multiples of 6 from each term to obtain the next term in the series.
96 – (6 × 1) = 96 – 6 = 90
90 – (6 × 2) = 90 – 12 = 78
78 – (6 × 3) = 78 – 18 = 60
60 – (6 × 4) = 60 – 24 = 36
So, 36 is the missing term. Hence, the first option is correct.
