Correct Answer: 3


Solution : Given:
283, 94, 31, 10, ?

Subtract 1 from the previous term and then divide the resultant by 3 to get the next term of the series –
(283 – 1) ÷ 3 = 282 ÷ 3 = 94
(94 – 1) ÷ 3 = 93 ÷ 3 = 31
(31 – 1) ÷ 3 = 30 ÷ 3 = 10
(10 – 1) ÷ 3 = 9 ÷ 3 = 3

So, 3 is the missing term of the series. Hence, the first option is correct.
