Complete the series.
B)80 D)64
4, 196, 16, 144, 36, 100, 64, (…)
Correct Answer:
D. 64
Explanation:
The sequence 4, 196, 16, 144, 36, 100, 64 is composed of two alternating series of squared even numbers. The first series consists of increasing even squares: 2 squared (4), 4 squared (16), 6 squared (36), and 8 squared (64). The second series consists of decreasing even squares: 14 squared (196), 12 squared (144), and 10 squared (100). Following the decreasing pattern of the second series, the next number after 10 squared is 8 squared, which equals 64.
