Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option A

176.5

Solution :

The correct option is 184.5.

To find the missing number in the given series, let us observe the difference between consecutive terms:

244-232.1=11.9

232.1-220.2=11.9

220.2-208.3=11.9

208.3-196.4=11.9

We can see that each term is decreasing by 11.9.

To find the value replacing the question mark (?), subtract 11.9 from the last given term 196.4:

?=196.4-11.9=184.5

Thus, the number that replaces the question mark is 184.5.
