Question

Complete the series.

91, 86, __, 76, 71

The correct answer is

81

Check the gaps between the known terms: 91 → 86 is −5, and 76 → 71 is −5.

So each term is 5 less than the previous one.

86 − 5 = 81, and then 81 − 5 = 76, which matches the next given term.

Hence, the missing number is 81.
