Question : Directions: Select the number from among the given options that can replace the question mark (?) in the following series.
95, 73, 53, ?, 19, 5
Option 1: 42
Option 2: 39
Option 3: 35
Option 4: 31
Correct Answer: 35
Solution :
Given:
95, 73, 53, ?, 19, 5
Subtract consecutive even numbers in reverse order (starting from 22) from the previous term to obtain the next term.
95 – 22 = 73; 73 – 20 = 53; 53 – 18 = 35; 35 – 16 = 19; 19 – 14 = 5
So, 35 is the missing term in the series. Hence, the third option is correct.
