The missing term in the series: 5824, 5242, ?, 4247, 3823 is
The difference between the first 2 terms is 5824 - 5242 = 582.
The difference between the last 2 terms is 4247 - 3823 = 424.
If we look at these, we can see a pattern that the next number in the series is obtained by subtracting the first three digits of the present number in the series, i.e, the first three digits of 5824 which is 582 is being subtracted from 5824 to obtain 5242, similarly the first three digits of 4247 which is 424 is being subtracted to obtain 3823.
So, the missing term of the series can be calculated by subtracting the first three digits of 5242, which is 524, from 5242. Upon subtraction, we get the third term of the series to be 5242 - 524 = 4718.
Hence, the correct answer is option B.
