Correct Answer: 45


Solution : Given:
72, 66, 63, 57, 54, 48, ?

Subtract 6 and 3 alternately from the given numbers to obtain the next number.
72 – 6 = 66; 66 – 3 = 63; 63 – 6 = 57; 57 – 3 = 54; 54 – 6 = 48; 48 – 3 = 45

So, the missing number in the series is 45. Hence, the third option is correct.
