Correct Answer: 48


Solution : Given:
8, 24, ?, 80, 120

Add the consecutive multiples of 8, to get the next number of the series.
8 + (8 × 2) = 8 + 16 = 24
24 + (8 × 3) = 24 + 24 = 48
48 + (8 × 4) = 48 + 32 = 80
80 + (8 × 5) = 80 + 40 = 120

So, 48 is the missing term of the series. Hence, the first option is correct.
