Correct Answer: 38
Solution :
Given:
16, 28, ?, 46, 52
Add consecutive even numbers (starting from 12) in the reverse order to the previous term to obtain the next term –
16 + 12 = 28; 28 + 10 = 38; 38 + 8 = 46; 46 + 6 = 52
So, 38 is the missing term in the given series. Hence, the first option is correct.
