Directions to Solve
In each series, look for the degree and direction of change between the numbers. In other words, do the numbers increase or decrease, and by how much
3.
Look at this series: 36, 34, 30, 28, 24, ... What number should come next?

36-34 = 2.
34-30 = 4.
30-28 = 2.
28-24 = 4.
24-22 = 2.
So the answer is 22 it is alternate subtraction of 2 and 4.
34-30 = 4.
30-28 = 2.
28-24 = 4.
24-22 = 2.
So the answer is 22 it is alternate subtraction of 2 and 4.

We can do it other way also as follows:
36 - 30 = 6.
34 - 28 = 6.
30 - 24 = 6.
28 - 22 = 6.
So answer is 22.
36 - 30 = 6.
34 - 28 = 6.
30 - 24 = 6.
28 - 22 = 6.
So answer is 22.

36 - 2 = 34.
34 - 4 = 30.
30 - 2 = 28.
28 - 4 = 24.
24 - 2 = 22.
22 - 2 = 20.
The answer is 20 -> option A.
34 - 4 = 30.
30 - 2 = 28.
28 - 4 = 24.
24 - 2 = 22.
22 - 2 = 20.
The answer is 20 -> option A.

36 - 2 = 34.
34 - 4 = 30.
30 - 2 = 28.
28 - 4 = 24.
24 - 2 = 22.
So, in this way you can get the answer.
34 - 4 = 30.
30 - 2 = 28.
28 - 4 = 24.
24 - 2 = 22.
So, in this way you can get the answer.

Here is a simple logic we have to just subtract 6 from the number and we will get the alternate number.

36, 34, 30, 28, 24.
36-30 = 6.
34-28 = 6.
30-24 = 6.
Therefore 28-6 = 22.
That is 22 (B).
36-30 = 6.
34-28 = 6.
30-24 = 6.
Therefore 28-6 = 22.
That is 22 (B).

36-2 = 34.
34-4 = 30.
30-2 = 28.
28-4 = 26.
24-2 = 22.
The is the correct answer series.
34-4 = 30.
30-2 = 28.
28-4 = 26.
24-2 = 22.
The is the correct answer series.

36-34 = 2,
34-30 = 4,
30-28 = 2,
28-24 = 4,
24-2 = 22,
Hence 22 will be the next term.
34-30 = 4,
30-28 = 2,
28-24 = 4,
24-2 = 22,
Hence 22 will be the next term.

3*12 = 36
3*11 = 33+1 = 34.
3*10 = 30
3*9 = 27+1 = 28.
3*8 = 24
3*7 = 21+1 = 22.
3*11 = 33+1 = 34.
3*10 = 30
3*9 = 27+1 = 28.
3*8 = 24
3*7 = 21+1 = 22.
