Correct Answer: 48


Solution : Given:
83, 74, 66, 59, 53, ?, 44, 41

Subtract the consecutive numbers in the reverse order from the previous term to obtain the next term.
83 – 9 = 74; 74 – 8 = 66; 66 – 7 = 59; 59 – 6 = 53; 53 – 5 = 48; 48 – 4 = 44; 44 – 3 = 41

So, 48 is the missing term in the given series. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
