Question

Select the number that can replace the question mark (?) in the following series.
223, 111, ?, 27, 13, 6.

A.

56

B.

54

C.

35

D.

55

Correct option is D

Logic is based on decreasing differences of 112, 56, 28, 14, and 7, let's apply this to the series:
223, 111, ?, 27, 13, 6
223 - 111 = 112 (Difference: 112)
111 - ? = 56 (Difference: 56)
So,
?=111−56=55
55 - 27 = 28 (Difference: 28)
27 - 13 = 14 (Difference: 14)
13 - 6 = 7 (Difference: 7)
Thus, the missing number in the series is 55.
Correct answer is (d) 55.
