Select the number from among the given options that can replace the question mark (?) in the following series. 26, 36, 30, 40, 34, 44, ?
38
The correct answer is 38.
Check for alternating patterns: The operation might change from one step to the next, as seen in this problem (+10, -6). Consider multiple series: Sometimes, two separate series might be interleaved within one sequence. Look for squares, cubes, or other mathematical properties: Terms might be related to squares ($1^2, 2^2, 3^2, \ldots$) or cubes ($1^3, 2^3, 3^3, \ldots$), or be prime numbers, etc. Practicing with different types of number series helps in quickly identifying the pattern.
