Answer is 28.
Another way 2 solve problem
58 -46 = 12
46 -34 = 12
52 -40 = 12
similarly
40- 12 = 28.

Yes, the answare is 28. Because this is a simple substraction siries. Each number is 6 less than the privious number. The last number is 34. Now,the number is 6 less than the 34. Now the Answare is..... 34-6=28.
