What should come in place of question mark ‘?’ in the following series? 500, 496, 480, 444, 380, ? Correct Answer 280

The series follows the following pattern:

⇒ 500 – 22 = 496

⇒ 496 – 42 = 480

⇒ 480 – 62 = 444

⇒ 444 – 82 = 380

 According to the logic,

⇒ Next number after 380 is = 380 – 102 = 280
