Hi all,
I got correct answer like this,
120 - 80 = 40
99 - 63 = 36
80 - 48 = 32
63 - x = 28
so x is 35. All differences vary with a value of 4 in decreasing order. I know its too complicated. But reasoning
never results with one exact answer. We can have arrive at different possible answer(s).

The given series are in the forms
11*11=121-1=120
as follows
7*7=49-1=48
so
6*6=36-1=35
11*11=121-1=120
as follows
7*7=49-1=48
so
6*6=36-1=35
