B Correct answer
Explanation

This is a simple arithmetic progression where each number decreases by 6: 58-6=52, 52-6=46, 46-6=40, 40-6=34. Following this pattern, the next number is 34-6=28. The pattern is consistent throughout the series.

AI explanation

To solve this question, we need to identify the pattern or rule that governs the given series.

In this series, each number is obtained by subtracting 6 from the previous number.

Starting with 58: 58 - 6 = 52 52 - 6 = 46 46 - 6 = 40 40 - 6 = 34

To find the next number in the series, we subtract 6 from the last number:

34 - 6 = 28

Therefore, the next number in the series is 28.

Option B) 28 - This option is correct because it follows the pattern of subtracting 6 from the previous number in the series.
