Correct Answer: 276
Solution : Given: 456, 444, 420, 384, 336, ?
Subtract consecutive multiples of 12 from the previous number, to obtain the next number – 456 – (12 × 1) = 456 – 12 = 444; 444 – (12 × 2) = 444 – 24 = 420; 420 – (12 × 3) = 420 – 36 = 384; 384 – (12 × 4) = 384 – 48 = 336; 336 – (12 × 5) = 336 – 60 = 276
So, 276 is the missing number. Hence, the first option is correct.
