Reasoning question from JKP Constable exam, 2024 by JKSSB

Which of the following numbers will replace the question mark (?) in the given series?
232, 221, 199, ?, 122, 67

Last updated May 13, 2026
Correct Answer: Option D — 166
Step-by-Step Logic 
1. Find the differences between the known terms:
232 minus 221 = 11
221 minus 199 = 22
122 minus 67 = 55

2. Identify the pattern:
The differences are multiples of 11:
11 x 1 = 11 
11 x  2 = 22
11 x 3 = 33 (Missing)
11 x 4 = 44 (Missing)
11 x 5 = 55

3. Calculate the missing term:
Subtract the next multiple of 11 (33) from the third term:
199 minus 33 = 166

4. Verify the pattern: Subtract the next multiple of 11 (44) from our result to see if it matches the next term:
166 minus 44 = 122.

Since 122 matches the series, the missing number is 166.
