    Question

    What should come in place of the question mark (?) in the given series?
    501 500 497 492 485 ?

    A.

    471

    B.

    475

    C.

    473

    D.

    476

    Correct option is D

    Given:
    501, 500, 497, 492, 485, ?

    Logic:
    numbers are decreased by odd numbers (1, 3, 5, 7.. so on)

    Explanation (applied left to right):
    501 − 1 = 500
    500 − 3 = 497
    497 − 5 = 492
    492 − 7 = 485
    Next difference = 9
    485 − 9 = 476

    Final Answer:

    476

    Final Correct Option:
    (d) 476
