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.
