This question was previously asked in
SSC CGL 2025 Tier 1 Question Paper (25-Sep-2025) (Shift 3)
The correct answer is

35

Look at the differences between consecutive terms: 120 − 99 = 21, 99 − 80 = 19, 80 − 63 = 17, and 63 − 48 = 15.

These differences form their own decreasing sequence: 21, 19, 17, 15, each dropping by 2 from the previous one.

Following this pattern, the next difference should be 15 − 2 = 13, so the next term is 48 − 13 = 35.

Hence, the answer is 35.
