  • Question
  • 36 , 20 , 12 , 8 , 6 , 5.5 , 4.5


  • Options
  • A. 5.5
  • B. 6
  • C. 12
  • D. 20

  • Correct Answer
  • 5.5 

    Explanation

    As per given above series , it is clear that
    Difference between all terms are given as :- 16 ÷ 2 = 8 , 8 ÷ 2 = 4 , 4 ÷ 2 = 2 , 2 ÷ 2 = 1 , 1 ÷ 2 = 0.5 .
    First term = 36
    Second term = First term - 16
    ? Second term = 36 - 16 = 20 ;
    Third term = Second term - 8
    ? Third term = 20 - 8 = 12 ;
    Similarly , we can find all others terms also.
    Fourth term = Third term - 4 = 12 - 4 = 8 ;
    Fifth term = Fourth term - 2 = 8 - 2 = 6 ;
    Sixth term = Fifth term - 1 = 6 - 1 = 5.5; 5.5 is wrong. It should be 5 .
    Seventh term = Sixth term - 0.5 = 5 - 0.5 = 4.5
    Hence, 5.5 is wrong. It should be 5 as Sixth term .
