- The series given is: 34, 18, 10, 6, ?, 3.

- Let's find the pattern:

- 34 to 18: The difference is 16.

- 18 to 10: The difference is 8.

- 10 to 6: The difference is 4.

- The differences are halving each time: 16, 8, 4.

- So, next difference should be 2 (half of 4).

- 6 minus 2 equals 4, which fits the series.

- Therefore, the missing number is 4.

Correct Answer: Option 2 - 4
