The answer is 14 since the difference between each of the numbers in the series is 13.

53, 53-0 = 53, 53-13 = 40, 40-0 = 40, 40-13 = 27, 27-0 = 27, 27-13 = 14.

Answer: 14.

Payal Mahajan said: 1 decade ago

Difference between 53 - 40 is 13 & 40 - 27 is 13.

So 27 - 13 = 14 is answer.

Logic: Taking difference 13 for every two repeated numbers so the answer is 14.
