    Question

    Which of the following numbers will replace the question mark (?) in the given series?
    375,325,275,225,175,?\frac{37}{5}, \frac{32}{5}, \frac{27}{5}, \frac{22}{5}, \frac{17}{5}, ?​​

    A.

    125\frac{12}{5}​​

    B.

    95\frac{9}{5}​​

    C.

    165\frac{16}{5}​​

    D.

    145\frac{14}{5}​​

    Correct option is A

    The series is: 375,325,275,225,175,?\frac{37}{5}, \frac{32}{5}, \frac{27}{5}, \frac{22}{5}, \frac{17}{5}, ?​​
    Logic:Subtract 5 from the numerator of each term to get the next term and the denominator will remain the same.
    Explanation:
    Numerator of 375\frac{37}{5}​ is 37; so, 37 – 5 = 32. Thus, the numerator of next term will be 32 and its denominator will be 5.
    Similarly, continuing this pattern, the numerators of the next terms will be:
    32 – 5 = 27; 27 – 5 = 22; 22 – 5 = 17
    The denominators will be (5, 5, 5, 5).
    Therefore, the numerator of the next term (missing term) in the series should be 17 – 5 = 12, and the denominator will be 5.
    So, the missing term of the series is 125\frac{12}{5}​.
