Select the option that correctly completes the series. 88, 98, 83, 103, 78, ?
108
108 is correct.
Look at the change from each term to the next instead of at the terms themselves.
The differences between consecutive terms alternate in sign and grow by 5 each time.
\(88 + 10 = 98\), \(98 - 15 = 83\), \(83 + 20 = 103\), \(103 - 25 = 78\).
The next step adds 30: \(78 + 30 = 108\).
So the changes run +10, −15, +20, −25, +30.
