Correct Answer: 228
Solution :
Given:
273, 263, 248, ?, 203
Subtract the consecutive multiples of 5 (starting from 10) from the previous term to obtain the next term in the series.
273 – 10 = 263; 263 – 15 = 248; 248 – 20 = 228; 228 – 25 = 203
So, 228 is the missing number in the series. Hence, the third option is correct.
