Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option D

92

Solution :

The correct answer is 92 (Option 4).

To find the missing number represented by ‘?’, let us analyze the pattern or differences between consecutive numbers in the series:

52-32=20
68-52=16
80-68=12
88-80=8

Observing the differences between consecutive terms (20, 16, 12, 8), we can see that each successive difference decreases by 4:

20-4=16
16-4=12
12-4=8

Following this pattern, the next difference should be:

8-4=4

To find the value of ‘?’, we add this difference to the last known term in the series (88):

?=88+4=92

Therefore, the number that comes in place of ‘?’ is 92.
