The following question, a series is given, with one term missing. Choose the correct alternative from the given ones that will complete the series.
100, 52, 28, 16, 10, ?

Options

A. 5
B. 7
C. 8
D. 9

Answer

B

Explanation

The given number series is based on the following pattern:
`(100)/2 + 2 = 50 + 2 = 52`
`(52)/2 + 2 = 26 + 2 = 28`
`(28)/2 + 2 = 14 + 2 = 16`
`16/2+2=8+2=10`
`10/2 +2 = 5 + 2 = 7`
