    Question

    What should come in place of the question mark (?) in the given series?
    502, 500, 496, 490, 482, ?

    A.

    472

    B.

    471

    C.

    469

    D.

    468

    Correct option is A

    Given Series:
    502, 500, 496, 490, 482, ?
    Logic: The numbers are decreasing, and the amount being subtracted is increasing by 2 each time.
    502 − 2 → 500
    500 − 4 → 496
    496 − 6 → 490
    490 − 8 → 482
    482 − 10 → 472
    So, the next number in the series is 472.
    Thus, correct option is (a).
