Correct Answer: 128


Solution : Given: Sequence is 190, 166, 145, 128, 112, 100, 91.
Calculating the first difference,
190 – 166, 166 – 145, 145 – 128, 128 – 112, 112 – 100, 100 – 91
= 24, 21, 17, 16, 12, 9
All the first differences are divisible by 3 except 17 and 16.
$\therefore$ 128 is the common number that is causing this difference.
Hence, the correct answer is 128.
