Answer:

D) 32

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

series: 56, 54, 50, 38, 34, ....

find the difference between successive numbers;

56         54        50             38            34             x

     2            4             12              4             2            

The highest difference between the numbers is  12, after which it decreases to 4 and finally back 2.

The next number "x" is calculated as;

34 - 2  = x

34 - 2 = x

32 = x

Therefore, the next number should be 32.
