6
To determine the next term in the series, we first observe the pattern in the given sequence: 56, 40, 27, 17, 10.
Let's calculate the differences between consecutive terms:
- Difference between 56 and 40 is: \(56 - 40 = 16\)
- Difference between 40 and 27 is: \(40 - 27 = 13\)
- Difference between 27 and 17 is: \(27 - 17 = 10\)
- Difference between 17 and 10 is: \(17 - 10 = 7\)
We notice that the differences are: 16, 13, 10, 7. This sequence of differences decreases by 3 each time.
Following this pattern, the next difference after 7 should be:
- Next difference: \(7 - 3 = 4\)
Therefore, the next term in the series can be found by subtracting 4 from the last term (10) in the sequence:
- Next term: \(10 - 4 = 6\)
Thus, the next term in the series is 6.
This matches with the correct answer option: 6.

Important Questions from Number Series
- In the following number-pairs, the second number is obtained by applying certain mathematical operations to the first number. Which numbers should replace X and Y so that the pattern followed by the two numbers on the left side of :: is the same as that on the right side of :: ?
(NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into its constituent digits. E.g. 13 - Operations on 13 such as adding /subtracting /multiplying etc. to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is not allowed.)
