    Question

    In the following question, select the missing number from the given series.
    30, 28, 24, 16, 0, ?

    A.

    -40

    B.

    -35

    C.

    -30

    D.

    -32

    Correct option is D

    The differences between the numbers:
    30 to 28: Difference = -2
    28 to 24: Difference = -4
    24 to 16: Difference = -8
    16 to 0: Difference = -16
    As we observe, the differences are doubling in magnitude: -2, -4, -8, -16.
    Following the same pattern, the next difference should be -32.
    Thus, the next number in the series will be:
    0 - 32 = -32.
    The correct answer is (d) -32.
