Correct Answer: 255
Solution : Given: 361, 306, ?, 208, 165, 126
Decrease the difference between the consecutive numbers by 4 and find the next term of the series – 361 – 55 = 306; 306 – (55 – 4) = 306 – 51 = 255; 255 – (51 – 4) = 255 – 47 = 208; 208 – (47 – 4) = 208 – 43 = 165; 165 – (43 – 4) = 165 – 39 = 126
So, the missing number is 255. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
