Correct Answer: 39


Solution : Given:
57, 54, 52, 49, 47, 44, 42, ?

In the above-given series, subtract 3 and 2 alternately from the previous number to obtain the next number.
57 – 3 = 54; 54 – 2 = 52; 52 – 3 = 49; 49 – 2 = 47; 47 – 3 = 44; 44 – 2 = 42; 42 – 3 = 39

So, the missing number of the series is 39. Hence, the third option is correct.
