What should come in place of the question mark (?) in the following number series?
982 977 952 827 822 ?
Correct Answer: Option E
The above pattern may be evaluated as:
→ 982
→ 982 – 51 = 977
→ 977 – 52 = 952
→ 952 – 53 = 827
Again we subtract 51 and then follow the pattern i.e.
→ 827 – 51 = 822
Hence we must subtract 52 to get next number. Thus next number is,
→ 822 – 52 = 797
∴The required term in the given number series is 797.
