Correct Answer: –50


Solution : Given:
15, 4, –8, –21, –35, ?

Subtract natural numbers starting from 11 to 15 successively from each term to obtain the next term.
(15 – 11) = 4; (4 – 12) = – 8; (– 8 – 13) = – 21; (– 21 – 14) = – 35; ( – 35 – 15) = – 50

So, – 50 is the missing term. Hence, the second option is correct.
