Answer:
D) 32
Step-by-step explanation:
Given;
series: 56, 54, 50, 38, 34, ....
find the difference between successive numbers;
56 54 50 38 34 x
2 4 12 4 2
The highest difference between the numbers is 12, after which it decreases to 4 and finally back 2.
The next number "x" is calculated as;
34 - 2 = x
34 - 2 = x
32 = x
Therefore, the next number should be 32.
