Correct Answer: –37


Solution : Given:
25, 23, 19, 11, –5, ?

In the above-given series, subtract twice the difference of the previous two numbers from the next number.
25 – 2 = 23;
23 – (2 × 2) = 23 – 4 = 19;
19 – (4 × 2) = 19 – 8 = 11;
11 – (8 × 2) = 11 – 16 = –5;
–5 – (16 × 2) = –5 – 32 = –37

So, the missing number of the series is –37. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
