    খ)
    817
    গ)
    789
    ঘ)
    697
    ঙ)
    None of these

    Explanation

    The above pattern may be evaluated as: → 982 → 982 – 5 1 = 977 → 977 – 5 2 = 952 → 952 – 5 3 = 827 Again we subtract 5 1 and then follow the pattern i.e. → 827 – 5 1 = 822 Hence we must subtract 5 2 to get next number. Thus next number is, → 822 – 5 2 = 797 ∴The required term in the given number series is 797.
