Question

Find the next three elements in the following set:

(50 , 46, 42, 38, ...)

1. 42, 46, 50
2. 34, 32, 30
3. 34, 30, 26
4. None of these

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 3 : 34, 30, 26

The given number series: 50 , 46, 42, 38, ...
The logic is that the next number of the series is 4 less than the previous number as shown below:
50 - 4 = 46
46 - 4 = 42
42 - 4 = 38
38 - 4 = 34
34 - 4 = 30
30 - 4 = 26

Hence, the next three numbers in the series are 34, 30, and 26 in the same order.
