• B. $36$
• C. $14$
• D. $32$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $14$

Option (C) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
In the following series first the number is divided by 2 to form next number and the number formed is added by 2.
100/2$=$50
50+2$=$52
52/2$=$26
26+2$=$28
Hence the next number continuing the series will be:
28/2$=$14
14+2$=$16
16/2$=$8
Hence 14 is the correct answer.
