Question

Replace the ? with an appropriate number.

2,30,6,20,12,12,(?)

• A. 26
• B. 22
• C. 20
• D. 24

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

20

Series I= 2,6,12 and Series II = 30,20,12
If we observe series (2,6,12----), the 2 consecutive numbers increment in the following pattern +4,+6..We can predict the pattern to continue as +4,+6,+8,+10 etc..Hence, the numbers in the series will be 2,6,12,20,30....
If we observe Series 2,the numbers decrement in the pattern -10,-8 ...Hence we can predict the pattern to continue as -10,-8,-6,-4 etc..Hence, the numbers in the series will be 30,20,12,6,2......
Hence, option 'C' is correct.
