Correct Answer: 6, 2


Solution : Given:
720, 180, 176, 44, 40, 10, ?, ?

Divide and subtract 4 alternately from the previous term to obtain the missing term.
720 ÷ 4 = 180, 180 – 4 = 176, 176 ÷ 4 = 44, 44 – 4 = 40, 40 ÷ 4 = 10, 10 – 4 = 6, 6 ÷ 4 = 1.5 ≈ 2

So, 6, 2 is the missing term in the given series. Hence, the first option is correct.
