    Question

    Which of the following numbers will replace the question mark (?) in the given series?
    83, 79, 74, 68, 61, 53, ?

    A.

    48

    B.

    44

    C.

    42

    D.

    46

    Correct option is B

    Logic: 83, 79, 74, 68, 61, 53, ?
    In the given pattern each number is reducing by 4, 5 , 6, 7, 8, …. respectively
    So, next number will be
    83 – 79 = 4
    79 -74 = 5
    74 – 68 = 6
    68 – 61 = 7
    61 – 53 = 8
    53 - 9 = 44
    Thus, correct option is (b).
