    Question

    What should come in place of the question mark (?) in the given series?
    356, 333, 300, ?, 204, 141

    A.

    237

    B.

    247

    C.

    257

    D.

    227

    Correct option is C

    Given: 356, 333, 300, ?, 204, 141
    Logic: Double difference is + 10 place.
    356 - 333 = 23
    333 - 300 = 33
    300 - ? = ?
    ? - 204 = ?
    204 - 141 = 63
    The differences are increasing:
    23 → 33 → ? → ? → 63
    Let's assume the pattern continues with a +10 increment in differences:
    23 + 10 = 33,  30 + 10 =  43,  43 + 10 = 53, 53 + 10 = 63
    Now apply this difference pattern to the terms:
    356 - 23 = 333
    333 - 33 = 300
    300 - 43 = 257
    257 - 53 = 204
    204 - 63 = 141
    So, the missing term is 257.
    Thus, correct option is (c).
