Option 1: 168
Option 2: 150
Option 3: 182
Option 4: 132
Correct Answer: 182
Solution :
Given:
382, 322, 272, 232, 202, ?
Subtract the multiples of 10 (in decreasing order), starting from 60 from the previous number to obtain the following number of the series.
382 – 60 = 322; 322 – 50 = 272; 272 – 40 = 232; 232 – 30 = 202; 202 – 20 = 182
So, 182 is the missing number in the series. Hence, the third option is correct.
