Question

Select the number that will come next in the following series

150, 80, 36, ?
1. 12
2. 21
3. 24
4. 10

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 1 : 12

The pattern followed here is

(5^3) + (5^2) = 150

(4^3) + (4^2) = 80

(3^3) + (3^2) = 36

So, the next number in the series will be

(2^3) + (2^2) = 12

Hence, the next term in the series is 12.
