Let's analyze the differences between the consecutive numbers:
‌−10−5=5
‌−17−10=7
‌−26−17=9
‌−37−26=11
The differences are increasing by 2 each time: 5,7,9,11.
So, the next difference should be 13:
37+13=50
Thus, the missing number is 50 .
Therefore, the correct answer is 50 .
Quick Tip
In number series problems, identify the pattern in the differences between consecutive numbers. If the differences follow a consistent pattern, continue the pattern to find the missing number.
