Correct Answer :

Option E

59

Solution :

The correct answer is 59.

To find the missing term of the number series, let us analyze the pattern of the given sequence:
54, 67, 50, 63, 46, ?

Let's look at the differences between consecutive terms:

1. From the first term to the second term:
54+13=67

2. From the second term to the third term:
67-17=50

3. From the third term to the fourth term:
50+13=63

4. From the fourth term to the fifth term:
63-17=46

We can see that the series alternates between adding 13 and subtracting 17:
+13,-17,+13,-17,...

Following this alternating pattern, the next operation after subtracting 17 should be adding 13:
46+13=59

Therefore, the missing term in the series is 59.
