What should come in place of the question mark (?) in the following number series?

Question 159

56, 54, 58, 50, 66, ?

Solution

Let the missing number be x

Here , a pattern is getting formed between consecutive numbers.

5456 =$$(-2)^1$$

5854= $$(-2)^2$$

5058= $$(-2)^3$$

6650= $$(-2)^4$$

As we can see that the difference is of the form $$(-2)^{n}$$

so for missing number x,

x−66= $$(-2)^{5}$$

This implies that x is 34
